Retiro Park Lake

In the heart of El Retiro Park, one of the largest parks in Madrid, you will find this lake, a very popular place for Madrileños, who go there to rent rowing boats or sunbathe. It was created to hold water shows, such as navy battles and boat rides for the Monarchs and their Court. Today, on the weekends, next to the lake, there are numerous shows and cultural activities for children, such as puppet theaters, clowns and mimes.
