It's a city park integrated within the old city walls. Very nice views over the Tagus river. The place could be a bit more well maintained and is lacking some a café or restaurant, besides the one already there. Some of the fences were damaged and there seemed to be some work being done but not sure what it was and it seemed abandoned. Still very worth the visit, a landmark of the region for sure.

Torre is the highest point in mainland Portugal, offering stunning views and a unique experience. Visitors can drive to the top and find nearby shops as well as a ski resort. The plateau provides a calming and reflective atmosphere away from the crowds, with old observation towers adding intrigue to the landscape. It's recommended to visit during sunset or sunrise for an unforgettable experience. However, be prepared for cold temperatures, especially in winter.
I was lucky to have had good weather and the views and the hiking were amazing. I spent 8 hours exploring the surroundings and it was well worth it.
Tip 1: the first shop on the left makes excellent sandwiches with local cheese and ham.
Tip 2: It gets really cold up there; come prepared. When I first arrived, it was only 8 degrees and this on a lovely September day.
Falco Cherrug — Google review
A Torre. The highest point in mainland Portugal. Many have said its a boring place but i actually find the plateau a very calming and reflective place if you walk away from summer crowds. Stunning views. Visit or stay for the golden hour sunset and sunrise. Its worth it. The old observation towers add intrigue to a landscape that could be in a Star Wars movie.

This was the starting point of our hike in the mountains. Views are great. There’s a shop with cheeses and cured meats
Digna Ten Napel — Google review
We drove up the windy roads to see the highest point in Portugal in October. The peak is mostly covered by an ugly parking lot, with old looking buildings and abandoned meteorological observatories that can’t be entered. The cramped shopping center strongly smells of mountain cheese and cured meats. It’s very touristy, with the tour buses pulling up every couple of minutes. There’s also few places to stop to eat or buy food/drink other than cheese and vending machine coffee if you stop for lunch. The views are pretty good going down the east side of the mountain, but overall I would say this trip is not worth it. You could get more spectacular views without going to the summit, with a better experience to go along with it. It might be better with snow, but I wouldn’t come back. Enjoy my photos of the view and you should be covered enough not to go.

Serra da Estrela, located east of Coimbra, is home to the highest mountains in continental Portugal. The region offers a rural and sustainable tourism experience at Chao do Rio, where guests can stay in beautiful stone cottages surrounded by pastures and a natural swimming pool resembling the lagoons of Serra da Estrela.
In winter, check if it’s snowing! If it is, you will have an amazing experience! Do not forget to go to “Covao dametade” as well!

If you are RVing on your way up make sure you have ample propane for heating as it can be cold, gas ⛽️ or diesel and water 💧
We filled up from the free natural mountain 🏔️ water 💧 on our way up with a watering can!

Jardim do Paço Episcopal, also known as the Bishops palace garden, is a charming Baroque garden located in Castelo Branco, Portugal. Established in 1725, it features a delightful array of fountains, sculptures depicting historical Portuguese figures and saints, and even includes a playground for children. The garden is adjacent to the Paco Episcopal and boasts an assortment of trees, five lakes, and a grand staircase.
Outstanding garden...with statues of the saints and various water features including Moses pool...it was 43 degrees and I almost jumped in...A nice place to relax and reflect...Resident Cowboy and supporter of the economy of Portugal since 2016...

A truly wonderful park. Well kept, colorful, wide space, lovely natural and man-made decoration. A playground area for children, a cafe makes of it a good meeting place, and then woods area offers good shade from the harsher sun.
Nelson “Komi” Duarte — Google review
Lovely place to take photos. It is nice to discover all the different statues around the gardens although they are not organised by category and some of them need some TLC. This place has been preserved well and looks the same as it did 20 years ago. It is quite muddy so not the best idea during wet weather.
There are toilet facilities. Price is €3 per person, under 10yo go free. You can buy the ticket on the day. I would say you need only 1 hour to see everything there as it is a small space.
Be careful if you have young children as some of the areas are dangerous to walk through with no barriers between levels.
M. Costa — Google review
Exquisite. It's absolutely worth a detour to visit. There is so much history and beauty here, and the entry fee is a tiny €3.
MiMo_4 — Google review
A pretty garden with small fountain and lakes with an abundance of statues. It is located at the back of the old palace that served as the residence of several bishops of Guarda and later those of Castelo Branco. The statues are representing many figures, from kings and bishops to the symbol of each month or elements like fire. It is also adjacent to the Francisco Tavares Proença Júnior Museum which was the residence of the bishops. I recommend visiting this lovely park to everyone.
The explanations are in Portuguese and also in English. Opening Hours: April to September: 09h00-19h00;October to March 09h00-17h00. Entrance fee: 2€.
Maryam Klidsar — Google review
A beautiful place in Castelo Branco! This was the third time I went to the city and I can say I regret not going earlier to this amazing garden! The place itself is not that big, we are not talking about a huge park here, but rather a cozy and really beautiful small garden. What I found interesting about this place is the mix between the green and the statues. You can go and try to find what's written under the statues as a fun way to explore the place. Onde suggestion though would be to change the font under the statues, it looks way to much modern compared to the place history, I would rather see a hand drawn label than something that looks like an A4 printed at home. Apart from that, the place is totally worth going and amazing to take pictures. You only have to pay 2€ to get in but its worth it! A nice day trip to Castelo Branco.

(Translated by Google) Of the 12 historical villages, I think it is the most impressive point of all the villages, it is a space with many details and it really seems that you are in another era, in few places today the same can be said. If you visit Castelo Novo or are nearby, stop by and see this place, it will not disappoint you. Plenty of parking in the area and a very good natural pool at the entrance to the town.

(Translated by Google) The Pelourinho of Castelo Novo has been classified as a Property of Public Interest since 1933. Possibly coeval with the charter granted to the town, in 1510, by D. Manuel I, and the renovation carried out at the time, both in the castle and in the Town Hall . The pillory is built in Manueline style.

O Pelourinho de Castelo Novo está classificado como Imóvel de Interesse Público, desde 1933. Possivelmente coevo da carta de foral concedida à povoação, em 1510, por D.

The Castle of Marvão, a stately stone fortress originally constructed in the 8th century and rebuilt in the 17th century, is a must-see for tourists. Situated on a rocky hill, it offers breathtaking views of the Alentejo plain. The village of Marvao itself is charming, with whitewashed houses lining the mountain ridge. The castle walls provide spectacular views of the surrounding area, showcasing human ingenuity and engineering from centuries ago.
Fantastic beautifully preserved castle and "lived in" town all within the castle walls. One of the best preserved I've visited, awesome views as it sits right atop the rocky hilltop. Great cafes, restaurants, a few shops and museum. Well worth a visit.

Sporting a very cheap entrance fee (€1.5) and providing great vantage points to the surrounding sights, it is worth a visit. Do be careful with your footing and head while walking about and be mentally prepared for heights and uphill paths.

What a stunning castle to visit!! I was blown away by how intact it still is and the sheer brilliance of the construction. It also has the biggest cistern in any of Portugal's castles. How on earth they built it on top of a mountain is beyond me. A must see if you are in the region.

Cheryl Theunissen — Google review
Of all the castles in Portugal, this one has to be one of the highlights for me. The views from walking the castle walls are spectacular, given the height of the castle over the surrounding area. Just imagining what it must have been like to build this castle on such a mountainous height hundreds of years ago really makes you appreciate human ingenuity and engineering.
It was also nice to see the cistern still collects some water today and hasn't been converted into some other use as is common with other castles in the country -- if it weren't for some terrible visitors throwing their junk into the water, you can actually see how clear the water remains. The small garden outside of the entrance to the castle is also quite picturesque and reminded me of the fancy gardens you see in TV shows set in medieval times.

This really is a place worth a visit and explore. Some 260m of elevation afford the most stunning views of the surrounding countryside. A visit to the town cistern, still with water, is fascinating. The village was quiet when we visited mid week so no hustle and bustle. Strongly recommend.
Castelo de Belmonte is a must-see National Monument with a rich history dating back to the 13th Century. Originally a fortress, it was later transformed into a fortified manor house for the family of Pedro Alvares Cabral, who was born inside the castle. The scenic castle offers stunning views, and visitors can explore its tower for panoramic vistas of the village and surrounding landscape. The town of Belmonte itself is charming, known for its unique blend of Catholic and Jewish culture.
Nice view, fantastic pictures. Very beautiful place

Roman-era bridge restored & rebuilt over the centuries, with elegant arches & Tagus River views.

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful point in the city, one of the entrances to the beautiful historic center of the city. It is quite a work of engineering of the time, since it is not a straight arch, but a curved one for the passage of carriages.
It is called this way because of the image of the Virgin of the Star that can be seen inside the walled enclosure.
(Original)
Es un punto muy bonito de la ciudad, una de las entradas al precioso centro histórico de la ciudad. Es toda una obra de ingeniería de la época, ya que no es un arco recto, si no en curva para el paso de los carruajes.
Se llama así debido a la imagen de la Virgen de la Estrella que se puede ver por dentro del recinto amurallado.

The historical landmark Old Town of Cáceres is a walled city with preserved medieval buildings. The old town is easy to get lost in its maze of alcoves and narrow stone alleyways pockmarked with exquisite medieval buildings. It's no surprise this town is in the UNESCO list of heritage.
I live in Portugal and my husband and I were looking for a great place for a quick road trip. We decided on Caceres and WOW it really delivered. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and wandering around it really does feel like stepping back 500 years in time. We got up and out for an early morning walk in late September and it seemed we were in a time warp with nobody except us. Magical.
Some excellent restaurants with authentic Spanish cuisine and live music in little bars tucked away down little back streets. We loved every minute and can't wait to go back.

Stayed overnight in this charming old town with remnants of Ancient Rome and Gothic architecture. There was a weekend market held in an ancient square, and hilly climbs through the old quarter. A great stop if traveling between Madrid and Lisbon by car.

If you plan on going on a weekday in the middle of the day or early afternoon, don’t... it’s beautiful but absolutely deserted and most of the stores and restaurants are closed. They open up again later in the day as most of Spain, but if you’re just passing through make sure to be there later in the day. Other than that it’s amazing seeing the history of Cáceres. The entire old city is like an open-air museum. Even if you have an extra hour or so and are near, you should definitely go.

Nice location to visit, old historical area is amazing in reference to the architecture. Be careful walking because of the streets were built a long time ago and are in some places uneven.

Granadilla, a ghost town in Spain located in Extremadura, has been part of Zarza de Granadilla's municipality since 1960. The village was abandoned on June 24, 1955, during the Franco regime when residents were forced to leave due to the construction of a nearby reservoir. Situated approximately 25km west of Hervas, Granadilla offers a captivating glimpse into the traditional villages of Extremadura before modernization took place.
Catedral Nueva de Plasencia is a historic landmark that consists of two cathedrals, the old 13th-century cathedral and the new one completed in the 1600s. The Cathedral Museum showcases the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture and is considered one of the city's greatest architectural treasures. It began construction in the early 13th century with contributions made until the 15th century.

We only admired the jumble of different architectural styles of the 2 adjacent cathedrals from outside as a Sunday service was in progress. Difficult to get a clear view from outside.
Plasencia, located in western Spain, is renowned for its medieval walls and historic old quarter. The city boasts the impressive Plasencia Cathedral complex, which includes the Old Cathedral from the 13th century and the New Cathedral with a mix of Gothic and Renaissance styles. Nature enthusiasts can explore Parque Los Pinos with its picturesque ponds inhabited by herons, storks, and flamingos. For those seeking outdoor adventures, Monte Valcorchero offers rocky trails amidst cork oak trees.

At the top there is a viewpoint from which you can take very cool photos. Luckily, on the day of the visit (January), the river had plenty of water. Quite a few people on the weekend but without crowds. Recommended visit if you are in the area.

Main attraction of this NP are the vultures, which can be seen on multiple spots, but the best spot is Salto del Gitano near the castle. Bring binoculars to see the chicks in the nests. Vulturss, eagles and black storks can be seen.

Trujillo Alcazaba, also known as Trujillo Castle, is a medieval Moorish stone fortress with 8 towers and a horseshoe arch. Situated at the top of a granite hill in the city, it was built between the 9th and 12th centuries over an Arab citadel. The castle offers panoramic views of dusty plains dotted with smaller castle ruins and ancient walls. It has gained popularity as one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones.
Entrance fee is €2.
30-40 minutes you need to see and to walk inside.
Astonishing view from the top to the city.
Arabic water storage, small chapel, many towers and stairs.
Nadia Rozumna — Google review
The Alcazaba de Trujillo is perched up on a hill. This fortified military camp was built in the 13th century mainly for defensive purposes, which is why there are no residential rooms. From what I could see from the outside is somewhat preserved. While it is on the outskirts of the old town, I do recommend going there. Unfortunately the day I went, I waited for an hour for it to open after the lunch break and it never did.

The main site of the city a 10th century Moorish Castle. You're able to walk up to the castle and enjoy spectacular views of the city but likely not worth paying to go inside.

Barrio Judío de Hervás, also known as the Jewish Quarter of Hervás, is a picturesque and historically rich neighborhood in Spain. During the Middle Ages, it was home to a thriving Jewish community, with remnants of this heritage still visible today. The cobblestone streets and hidden squares offer a glimpse into its past. Visitors can stumble upon the old synagogue tucked away in a side alley and immerse themselves in the stories shared by locals.

(Translated by Google) The oldest part of the city with a Memorable history. In it are the oldest churches in the city, the Town Hall, the Plaza Mayor, the Ducal Palace where you can visit the Camera Obscura, and a wide range of old houses and buildings with many years. Despite all this, the complex is not very well "air-conditioned" there are houses declared in ruins and in which a couple of police tapes separate the danger from the person, the main square is not used for any event so the people do not go down to this area if they do not know it completely well.

La parte más antigua de la ciudad u con una historia Memorable. En ella se encuentran las iglesias más antiguas de la ciudad, el Ayuntamiento, la plaza Mayor, el Palacio ducal en que se puede visitar la Cámara oscura, y un gran amplio abanico de antiguas casa y edificios con muchos años. A pesar de todo esto el conjunto no esta muy bien "climatizado" hay casas declaradas en ruinas y en las que un par de cintas de la policía separan el peligro de la persona, la plaza mayor no se utiliza para ningún evento por lo que la gente no baja hasta esta zona si no la conocen del todo bien.

Then along Calle Mayor some other buildings such as the Teatro Cervantes and the Portales de Pizarro.

Hay varios carteles informativos de la historia de la villa en la plaza y está marcado un itinerario autoguiado por el pueblo.

(Translated by Google) Route of 3 hours in total that is definitely WORTH IT! Easy path and with landscapes that take your breath away. Not very crowded, we were able to find a place to eat the sandwiches quietly without anyone nearby, and that was just walking maybe 10 more minutes. A beautiful landscape in which if you are brave you can take a dip.
At the starting point you can find two restaurants with ridiculous prices! Parking €3 for having the car there all day.
I recommend spending the day there. Oh, important fact! You can go preferably with children, I repeat that the route is easy even for the little ones!

Un paisaje precioso en el que si eres valiente puedes pegarte un chapuzón.
En el punto de partida puedes encontrar dos restaurantes con unos precios de risa! El parking 3€ por tener el coche ahí todo el día.

(Translated by Google) The area is very beautiful, but to get there there is a good walk. About an hour uphill, we went with the children and they ended up very tired. To get to the pylons, it is better from the town of Jerte along the forest road which is wide (better than through the interpretation center).

(Translated by Google) It is advisable to go during a time when it is not very hot, the path is 3 km one way and 3 km back...both along the path and on another path that is well signposted, it is quite hard and more so in the heat so it is advisable to carry plenty water.
There is a parking lot as soon as you arrive from a restaurant that charges 3 euros.
I recommend going during the week to avoid meeting many people.
(Original)
Aconsejable ir en época que no haga mucho calor, el camino es de 3 km ida y 3 de vuelta...tanto por la senda como por otro camino que hay bien señalizado, es bastante durilla y más con calor con lo cual aconsejable llevar bastante agua.
Hay un parking nada más llegar de un restaurante que cobra 3 eur.

Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Yuste is a restored monastery, church, and gardens that dates back to the early 1400s. It was used as an emperor's retreat and is known for being the place where Charles spent his last days until he died of malaria. The monastery offers a glimpse into history with its well-preserved interiors, including the emperor's room and a beautiful chapel.
Spectacular monastery in the middle of the mountains. Rich history of Charles the V and the Spanish empire. The gardens are stunning and rich in biodiversity typical to the region. The entry at 7€ is a bit costly.

Gorgeous place to take photos, very neat to be able to visit the emperor’s room and the chairs he sat on and was carried in when he was sick, a pretty chapel and so cheap to get into compared to historical buildings in the US (Under 8 Euros for adults and half price for kids up to 16, seniors, and a bunch of other discounted groups). The audio guide is recommended, it’s well done. The grounds are spacious and really impressive, all sorts of paths to walk around and off the beaten path from the usual tourist routes.

Small, but charming, simple and mostly unadorned place surrounded by beautiful countryside. It must have been great place to live.
The visit consist of interiors of both cloisters, Charles V palace and gardens. Its not worth going just to see the gardens, despite being beautiful, because the part that you can visit is very small - only a single path to the cloister view and back.

P.º del Castillo, 16, 05600 El Barco de Ávila, Ávila, Spain
The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe is a major Roman Catholic monastery with its main church ordered by Alfonso XI in the 14th century. Located in Caceres, it's a favorite spot for birdwatchers due to its natural resources like the Monfrague National Park and Jerte Valley. The monastery, dating back to the 15th century, houses a carving of the Virgin Mary believed to be done by St. Luke.
Beautiful and ornate monastery in a lovely town with lots to see

The monastery buildings are divided into three parts: the hotel, the church, and the cloisters (main part?). The latter is only accessible via a guided tour, which is only in Spanish - tickets required, no idea of frequency, times, or duration as we didn't bother (the chap selling them was not helpful). The church is worth popping into - very ornate. We happened to time it so that the effigy of Mary spun around to face us from the altar (Catholics do love their drama). The monastery hotel is a lovely setting for lunch, which compensates for the pretty average food.

Wow!!
We made a special detour whilst walking Camino Mozárabe to visit Guadalupe.
We were not disappointed and would highly recommend.
No need to add extra photos!

Such a shame that this UNESCO Heritage listed site was only offering tours in Spanish. Surely there are enough English speaking people who would like to share in the history. Unfortunately we weren't prepared to pay the 12 euro a couple to just wander around.

I don't like it either that the guided tour is only in Spanish but spend the 5 Euros because the place is just stunning. You can't take pictures inside but the courtyard has many photo opportunities. Don't miss this.

It cost you 6 euros. You cannot enter and look around the monestry on your won. You must join the tour so it is better to check the tour schedule first. It is really worthwhile visiting inside, beautiful treasures and ornaments. Unfortunately it is not allowed to take a photo inside.

Very impressive.
You buy a ticket for €5.
You wait in the vestibule for a guide and I’ve no idea how the system works. Whether they wait for numbers or if it’s time based. The waiting room was quite full when the guide arrived.
You go through to the cloister area where at the end of the tour you may take pictures.
All the other areas are no photography. Probably due to concerns over flash.
It’s one of the most impressive ones I’ve seen.
Then you go into the embroidery museum where everything is 15-17 C. The work is amazing and the condition excellent considering it’s age.
Then you go into the museum of illustrated books. These books are 1m x 0.7m, so huge. There are a lot of them. Some smaller books too. All leather bound with huge clasps.
Then you visit the shrine and the sacristy. Quite incredible areas.
Then back round the cloisters and exit where you came in.
Definitely worth the €5

I took the bus from Madrid (4hr journey) to visit this monastery. The building is very beautiful but unfortunately photography is not allowed inside, except in the cloister. Also the tour (EUR 6) is only conducted in Spanish, which is a shame.

Would love to give a review of the actual monastery but we decided against going in based on the appalling treatment from the incredibly rude man on the cash desk. He indicated he was ready to serve me then barked 'momento' several times when I began to speak. It became apparent that speaking to one of his colleagues was more important so I waited until he deigned to talk to me. I asked (in Spanish) what time the next tour was and if there was a subsequent one as, having walked 30 mins in the heat, we would prefer to have a drink before going in. Again, he barked back at us in very fast Spanish whilst desperately trying to tear off two tickets for the immediate tour which we clearly didn't want. Even after asking him to slow his speech down he would not do so and did not display one iota of customer care - astonishing in a visitor attraction and a religious one at that.
My 6€ was duly spent elsewhere, having a relaxing couple of beers in a very friendly bar.

Loved it. What a fabulous castle and town for wandering around. The castle walls afford great views and is pretty much all intact, you can go into all the towers with no restrictions. You can easily spend 2 hours here, we did.
You can even spend the night in the adjoining hotel.

What a fun place to visit! Full of history and rich with tradition! In April there is a medieval fair that sends you back 900 years to the times of nobility and royal drama! You’ll hear time accurate music and see performances fit for a king! …or Queen! The castle is beautiful, perched on an amazing hillside that looks out towards the Sierra de Gredos mountains

Nice medium sized castle on the top of a hill, the staff there were the best, they are very talkative and informative , kinda feels like they are long time friends and you are just visiting their castle.
Ken Soler — Google review
The castle and adjoining hotel and palace are fantastic. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lots of manicured ares to sit and admire the scenery in the shade.
The entrance to the castle is inside the Palace grounds. There is parking both inside and outside the walls.
The website showed it was closed on Monday but it was open and only cost 4eu.
Well worth the price of admission.
There are alot of stairs with no permanent railings so if you are unsure of climbing it may be best to pass on going up.
Castle is in very nice condition and has information plaques on just about everything.
Highly recommend this location.
Younger man at the ticket area was very knowledgeable and friendly. Spoke English as well.
Small little gift shop at entrance that helps pay for the staff and buildings.
If possible take a walk around the outside of the buildings for some great views.

Still a lovely place to stop and take a rest at. Had my wedding reception here 23years ago, probably the best place around for a wedding reception.
Spectacular complex of ancient caves with dramatic limestone formations & paved road entryway.
Great tour. Lots to see. Drinks available at the cave entrance and bar cafe at the base near car park. Ample free parking available. Well worth the visit

The grand and historic cathedral in Talavera de la Reina, known as Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Prado, is renowned for its intricate ceramic art and tile murals. It is a popular attraction in the city, along with other notable sights like the Prado Gardens, Ethnographic Museum, and Ceramics Museum.

(Translated by Google) The flagship temple of Talavera, the house of all Talaverans, the house of the Virgen del Prado, Patroness of Talavera. Hermitage until the 90s, when it was elevated to a Basilica by Pope John Paul II.
Renaissance and baroque work with tiles from the 16th and 17th centuries, which tell the life of the Virgin, the Genealogy and the life of Jesus Christ, the life of Saint Anthony the Abbot and other themes. Some have called it the Sistine Chapel of Ceramics and Philip II called it the Queen of Hermitages. It has a small museum with pieces of great historical and artistic interest.

El templo insignia de Talavera, la casa de todos los talaveranos, la casa de la Virgen del Prado, Patrona de Talavera. Ermita hasta los años 90, cuando fue elevada a Basílica por el Papa Juan Pablo II.
Obra renacentista y barroca con azulejos de los siglos XVI y XVII, que relatan la vida de la Virgen, la Genealogía y la vida de Jesucristo, la vida de San Antonio Abad y otros temas.

El Bosque Encantado is a delightful theme park that offers botanical gardens with various walking trails and living plant sculptures, including metal structures covered by plants that form different figures. The park also features a tranquil waterfall adding to its scenic beauty. It is an ideal place to take small children who find delight in exploring the hidden corners of the garden filled with trees trimmed into different kinds of animals, flowers and stones. The landscape is stunning, filled with fresh air making it perfect for relaxation and exploration.
Great place! Nice landscape, fresh air, lots of trees trimmed in different kinds of animals . D flowers d stones everything thats inside are all awesome.

This is great for little children. It's small but cute. Outdoor parking. Bit of a drive to get to it, and sharp unannounced turning to get on the right path. The dining areas were all closed, only a drinks machine was available.

Very nice place ... superb location.. amid mountains and forests .. good choice for a day trip from Madrid with friends and family
The scriptures made of grass and plants are world class ... fine finishing .. theme based zones and a very interesting maze
Plenty of sit out area inside and Plenty of parking space outside
Washroom was clean and maintained
How to reach - Best way is by car
On public transportation from Madrid you need to come to San Martin de valdeiglasis (small town) by Bus, and then walk up the hill (almost 2 KM)
Though it’s really pleasant walk , though little tiring
It takes around 1 hour and 15 minuets to reach from Principie Pio station Madrid to this small yet beautiful town
Only week aspect the very few (close to no) food option, there is cafe that serve nice Coffee, beer and refreshments... though it is also (named as) pizzeria, but pizza is not always available...
So high recommendation that you carry some food (or you have to climb down to town for food)
Nice place to spend 2-4 hours

Definitely worth it, especially if you have children!! Totally worth the price! Parking was ample. The gardens are well kept. The only thing missing was an open restaurant (closed she we were there). There are so many sculptures, that you can't spend less than two hours there. Tip: take snacks and water just in case.

A really nice fairy tail themed place. It s a really nice place to go with your children or in couple for a romantic afternoon. The place is medium as size and if you want to see everything and also take some nice photos, the visit can go up to 2-3 hours. The exponates are nice but they could do a better job on maintenance. I also think that it could be a interesting place to visit after dark. The price is ok - fair.

Brian Carey — Google review
Such a neat place, which allows dogs. There are picnic spots but I recommend that you take your own food. The sculptures are well maintained, as is the rest of the park. It is quite large, so use the map if you want to see everything. It is an easy walk around. They really have placed some cute little touches to make it feel like it is an enchanted forest. For example, fairy houses or doors on dress (adorable!) or they place sound effects on some of the sculptures. It's a hidden little gem. Fun for all ages.

Family-friendly enclosure for animals including big cats, elephants & giraffes, plus go karting.
Unique experience! Great place to spend your day! Beautiful speaces of animals in their natural habit, eating out of your hands, a large and very well maintained domain.
Big +++ for the bird show!!! Very interesting for the kids, as well as for the adults. The acvilas flying over your head, the wolfs running in front of you and amazing colored parrots at your disposal. Congrats to the employees, they are doing a great job!

Big area where lots of animals like zebras, elephants , rhinos and camels run free and you can see them by car. Some you can feed carrots. Then there is a part with goats you can feed and the kids love this! Although there is a mini zoo where some are in cages :( the poor panthers there were going insane . I hope there is a good reason why they cant be in the wild. There are also crocodiles, snakes, frogs and other reptiles. There are picnic areas where they also sell some snacks.
Deborah Laks — Google review
The proposition is valid, but it is sad. The animals don't look well, the facility is outdated, and the only place to eat, if you don't bring your own food, it's pricey.

We really liked this adventure
Kids fed all sorts of animals. We brought carrots and lettuce with us but you can buy at front ticket gate. We also purchased tickets online ahead of time. Sometimes it sells out. Teach kids how to use their windows some animals wanted to reach in your car for more food and or just to make the kids feel safe and they have the power to control who comes close.
We also stopped by the reptile house and it was cool filled with lizards, crocodiles and other animals. We brought a lunch and then kids wanted to do go carts …. I was able to go with our youngest 6 and other two were able to drive by themselves ages 8,10. It was super hot so pack water in the summer time. They did have a couple shops or snack places to purchase things

So. Where should I start?
A M A Z I N G!
Having such a close encounter with animals is the type of experience that sticks forever.
You can feed them (well, herbivores not lions) with carrots from your the car. Deers will patiently wait by your window and camels, if you fully open the window, will stick their head through and straight into your car to get the precious snack.
Lions - how should I say - you're matters away from them. They don't care much as your "canned meat for them" and they have no can opener handy :).
Monkeys - so cute. Piece of advice: don't open your window. They'll take whatever they can crab.
And there's more. Go there and take a full day. I guess week days are less crowded, if it works for you.
Last, we ended up our trip with a few carting laps. So fun!
Don't miss this place if you visit Madrid, with or without kids.
Dragos Nuta — Google review
It's an amazing place where you can see wild animals in large open spaces from your car. It's a must see if you travel with kids in Madrid. Be careful with the monkeys, they steal everything they cautch. If you are not fast enough to give carrots to the camels, they will stick their necks through the car's window.
Ana Nuta — Google review
Short drive from Madrid, but worths the visit. This wide open green area, is more than a simple zoo. Back to Nature eye relaxing destination.It provides an interactive experience feeding the animals, that the kids were crazy about! Organized path for the cars to drive through, feeding the animals safely. Labelling the dangerous zones with clear instructions to keep the windows shut. Entry for adults 19€, 15€ for kids. No family package discounts, but 2€ discount for “kart ride” that costs 12€ for double seat car, 7€ for kids. I highly suggest buying some carrot before arriving to feed the animals. You can buy it on the spot, but it will be more expensive. And bring a lot! You will enjoy it! Check the weather before your visit and bring your lunch for picnic meal. Many available wooden tables. Highly recommended for families. I liked it much more than Madrid traditional zoo.
