These beautiful gardens near the centre of Madrid make a wonderful escape from the crowds and traffic.
The irises were huge |
This was where we could refill our water bottles. It did say the water was drinkable so I'm sure I'll be OK tomorrow!
This statue was in the 'Peace garden'. |
Opposite the botanical gardens was this amazing vertical garden. My photo has not really done it justice. |
That vertical garden is amazing. It rained every day that I was in Madrid.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Those are indeed the biggest iris I've seen! And all the pictures are a feast for the eyes, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove the vertical garden! Reading your profile, I've been in Beijing (2007), but I chose to paint plein air while hubby and son climbed those thousands of stairs:):)
ReplyDeleteI've got a couple of photos of that vertical garden from my last trip to Madrid! It really impressed me! :o)
