El Retiro Park

#2026NewYear Dreaming of 2026 under a tree steeped in history In Retiro Park stands the oldest cypress tree in Madrid, El Abuelo. Standing before this tree, centuries old, as we ushered in the New Year of 2026, my worries felt insignificant. Like this tree, which has stood by for so long, witnessing the New Year for countless people, I prayed that in 2026, I would possess a firm heart, unwavering in any situation. The beautiful fountains and sculptures along the park's walking paths add to the joy of walking. The fact that this place, my first destination for the New Year, was a royal garden steeped in Madrid's history, is enough to excite travelers. It was truly an honor to begin 2026 amidst the elegance of royalty and the warmth of nature. I am grateful that the Trip.com grant event allowed me to experience the heart of Madrid so deeply. In 2026, I hope you too can find a new pause in your life at Retiro Park. Please take a look. #2026NewYear
