Here's a random fact: Madrid’s biggest park, the Parque del Buen Retiro (more commonly known, simply, as El Retiro), is the home of that rarest of things: a public statue depicting The Devil. Old Nick lurks towards the western edge of the park as the centerpiece of the Fountain Of The Fallen Angel – an ornate water feature created by 19th century Spanish sculptor Ricardo Bellver, inspired by John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost. But there is little else diabolical about this leafy 350-acre expanse. El Retiro is Madrid’s playground, and it is well worth taking two hours to stroll its long pathways, admire its monuments or stop for a coffee at one of the several cafes where madrilenos while away the afternoon.
