During this season you can choose many fun and enriching activities, that will ensure you have a good time. That is why we feel free to give you some tips, so that you can fully enjoy this wonderful season. First of all we advise you to drop by one of the most beautiful parks in the city, where you can see different types of trees in bloom and enjoy one of the wonders that spring gives us: almond trees in bloom. We are talking about the park of Quinta de los Molinos in the popular <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/neighborhoods-of-madrid-what-not-to-miss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>neighborhood<\/strong><\/a> of San Blas. Here you can have a stroll, enjoy nature, have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/where-picnic-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>picnic<\/strong><\/a> in the park and forget for a while, that you are in the capital of Spain. There is another urban park that we would like to recommend: the beautiful rose garden of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/parque-oeste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Parque del Oeste<\/strong><\/a>. The fragrant varieties are at their finest each spring, and the spectacle of more than 20,000 roses in full bloom is a must-see in this beautiful urban park.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/common-flowers-of-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Common Flowers of Madrid<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8376\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8376\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8376\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920-810x456.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/madrid-2179974_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8376\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo via Pixabay<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another spring and cultural alternative, is to stroll through the book fair or <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ferialibromadrid.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Ferio del Libro<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, of which the 78th edition of this wonderful literary experience is organized. Besides getting to know the most important literary novels of the year, you can enjoy the interaction with the authors during this book event. It takes place every spring, in 2019 from May 31 to June 16, and it is located at one of the most emblematic places of the capital, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/buen-retiro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Retiro Park<\/strong><\/a>, more specifically at the Paseo del Duque de Ferr\u00e1n N\u00fa\u00f1ez. After the book fair, you can stay a bit longer in the Retiro Park, since the last of the recommendations of spring activities on the agenda, is to enjoy a sunny day in this beautiful urban park, which is one of the largest in Europe. The lake and its boats can be the success of any romantic plans you might have. It is ideal for lovers, who are lucky enough to enjoy a relaxing adventure on the water this spring. This fun activity is one of the most popular activities in the capital, and you will make it an unforgettable experience, once you complete the afternoon with a delicious picnic on the grass, in the shade of a beautiful tree in bloom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Any other recommendations for spring activities in Madrid?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-center kksr-disabled\"\n    data-id=\"8375\"\n    data-slug=\"\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-legend\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\"><\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, and perhaps the one that allows us to enjoy nature at its fullest.
