Casa de Campo - Good Goal - The sustainable guide

Casa de Campo: Madrid’s largest park

With its dazzling 1750 hectares of parkland, Casa de Campo is a huge park. It’s situated on the West-side of central Madrid, not that far from the city center. Formerly a hunting ground for the Spanish royal family, it now houses parkland, next to Madrid’s zoo and an amusement park. One of the most famous (and most visited) natural parts of the park might be its large lake, situated on the side of central Madrid.

Finding the entrance to Casa de Campo, walking from central Madrid, can be somehow tricky. Though a nice option is to take the cable-car which leaves at Parque del Oeste (another, smaller park at the West-side of central Madrid). This cable-car brings you directly inside the park from where you could start your hiking trail. The park is fully covered with these walking trails and a local’s favourite when it comes to walking or cycling. If you are in need of a real natural and spacious feeling in (the vicinity of) Madrid, Casa de Campo really is a good choice and will offer you some impressions on the typical landscape of this region. Perfect for an afternoon of unwinding, before to go back to the buzzing city.
