Dehesa de la Villa: beautiful forest-style park in Madrid

Dehesa de la Villa is a large park, in the North-Western part of Madrid, not that far from central area of the city. The closest metro station is that of Francos Rodríguez, from where it’s just a minor walk to reach the park. The most remarkable feature of the park is that it truly has the atmosphere and style of a forest. Whereas other parks in the city might feel more “cultivated or managed”, this park feels more natural and untouched.

With its more than 60 hectares of park surface, you have plenty of opportunities to make a stroll here. The remarkable and beautiful trees create for a tranquil atmosphere in this park which was a former hunting ground. It’s an area which lets you forget you’re in the capital of Spain, a precious area of nature in the heart of the city.
