Last Saturday, Natalie and I went to a park that is a good ways out from the city center called Parque del Capricho, or Park of Whimsies. It was once the private property of the Duchess of Alameda de Osuna, who constructed all sorts of fanciful and elaborate buildings, ponds and landscaping features.
I went to this park last time I was in Madrid and really enjoyed it. It is a nice place to go on a lazy Saturday or Sunday because it is an easy metro ride away, but you feel like you're getting out of the city. It's very peaceful and less crowded than most of the more centrally-located parks, and it is, as the name implies, quite whimsical.
