Royal Botanical Gardens
It was in 1755 that Ferdinand VI commissioned
the first botanical gardens in Madrid, located on the banks
of the Manzanares river. In 1774 King Charles III moved the
gardens to their current location beside the Prado museum.
Ever since visitors have been able to enjoy over 8 hectares
of European as well as exotic plant species. However the gardens
weren’t set up with the only purpose of putting on a
fine display: the main objective from the very beginning was
to continue learning about the delicate ecosystem. The gardens
contain pavilions which allow for rests among the cool plant
surroundings, as well as greenhouses that involve state of
the art plant technology. Intensive research is carried out
at these gardens and last year the research team was able
to make many interesting and important discoveries on Spanish
and Latin American plant life.
Be sure to keep
an eye on your things, especially when in a crowd! It may
be a good idea to leave anything you won’t really be
needing at the hotel!

gardens during your stay in Madrid for a Spanish
