It is organized three times a year and has a specific calendar of activities for all audiences.

Monument to Alfonso XII
What Madrilenian has not passed by the Great Pond of the Retiro to watch the sunset? This corner of the park has an architectural ensemble dedicated to King Alfonso XII, designed by the architect José Grases Riera. It houses a statue with a free viewpoint on its pedestal. From there, twenty meters high, we have an incredible panoramic view of the pier and its surroundings.
📍 Location: Plaza de la Independencia, s/n
🗓️ Dates: from December 26th to February 28th.
Capricho Bunker
Few places in Madrid are as romantic as the Capricho Park, which was built between the 18th and 19th centuries on the orders of the Duchess of Osuna. Many Madrilenians do not know that here is a bunker of the Civil War, which became the center of operations of the Republican side. It is worth traveling a century back in time and discover the recreations of this shelter, one of the most curious military constructions in Europe.
