After lunch we visited one of the most beautiful and inconveniently located parks in the world, the Campo del Moro. It's a huge expanse of greenery, with well manicured lawns and beautiful flowers, as well as a fair amount of ornamental statuary and nice walking paths. It's directly behind the royal palace, as you can see, and is connected to the palace by a graceful set of steps and patios. Unfortunately the powers that be have for some reason made it impossible to get from the park to the palace, and located the only entrance to this park as far as possible from any people. It's a few miles' walk from the palace, as you walk around the endless walls surrounding the park, continually expecting an entrance that finally emerges once you've left the city behind. The only upside to this is, if you manage to get there, you'll have the park to yourself.
