THE SPANISH CUPID
Madrid
Parque del Retiro - Plaza de la Independencia, 7, Madrid
Buen Retiro Park was a private park in the past. For many years, it was reserved solely for the use of Philip V of Spain, who admired all the plantings and enjoyed the constant renewal of the garden. Constant is right. According to the legend, a dwarf gardener moved the flowers and plants every night so that the king would never set foot in the same garden. Legend also said that seeing the dwarf guaranteed happiness in love. Unconvinced? Today, a statue of the dwarf stands in el Retiro. So, pay a visit as a couple. And come back to us in 30 years.Buen Retiro Park - Plaza de la Independencia, 7, 28001 Madrid
