#hellohalloween
📍 Location: Madrid, Spain

Madrid’s city centre isn’t all palaces and plazas — it also offers gardens and literary cafés for a more relaxed weekend.

🚶♀️ Things to Do: Spend your morning in El Retiro Park, rowing a boat on the lake or strolling past fountains, statues, and the Crystal Palace, a stunning glass pavilion. Head to the Barrio de las Letras (Literary Quarter), once home to Cervantes and Lope de Vega, now filled with quaint streets, bookshops, and tapas bars.

🥪 What to Eat: Enjoy café con leche with tostada at a literary café. Later, try tapas like tortilla española and croquetas in Calle Huertas.

💡 Savings Tip: Retiro Park and its monuments are free to explore. Many tapas bars in the Literary Quarter offer free small bites with drinks.

🌆 Highlights: Crystal Palace reflecting in the lake, poetry inscriptions along cobblestone streets, and café terraces under leafy trees.

✨ A weekend in Madrid blends green escapes with cultural treasures. Would you spend your getaway here? 🌿☕
