La Quinta de los Molinos Park

Almond trees in bloom

You don’t have to leave Madrid to enjoy one of Mother Nature’s most spectacular shows as soon as the first hint of spring is in the air. The fabulous image of blossoming almond trees all around Spain is replicated at this small, intimate park on Calle de Alcalá, undiscovered by many. It is known as La Quinta de los Molinos, right by the entrance to the Suanzes Metro station, and I strongly recommend paying it a visit at this time of year.
