I love Buen Parque Retiro, I jog there multiple times a week. However, sometimes I find it really nice to change it up and try
other parks in Madrid.
The location of Quinta Parque de la Fuente del Berro may not seem immediately appealing if you look at a map, as it’s right along Calle 30, but in reality its location is tucked into the side of a hill and below a charming neighborhood of homes making it…just perfect.
The layout of Quinta Parque de la Fuente del Berro is elongated over more than 13 hectares (32.11 acres) with zig zagging running paths throughout. There are many flat grassy areas which are perfect for picnics as well as a children’s playground. There is also the beautiful gardens, Jardines Sancho Dávila.
To get there, exit the Ventas Metro exit and walk south. The far end of the park (from this direction) is along Avenida de Alcalde Sáinz de Baranda. Use this map to get there. The actual park entrance is on Enrique D’Almonte.
Take my advice and for your next paseo, Quinta Parque de la Fuente del Berro, I promise, you’ll find it peaceful.

This park is a 3 minute walk from my apartment and the Ventas Bullring – I run through there daily. It is a lovely park. Folks are walking their dogs at o’dark early, and relaxing during the sunny afternoons, especially on the weekends. It’s family-picnic-and-dog-friendly. I’ve even seen peacocks there. Simply lovely!
