"Sunset Spot Parque de Oueste is a shady park toward the north of the city. The park is known for its rose gardens, as well as being home to the Temple of Debod, a gift for the Egyptian state in 1968. The overlook of the park offers beautiful views of the Royal Palace and the larger Casa Del Campo. It's an ideal spot to split a bottle of wine with friends and watch the sunset after a long day of exploring Madrid ."

Many people will tell you to visit Parque del Oeste for the sunsets, but it’s also an essential visit for those interested in Spain’s more recent history. Parque del Oeste was the setting of fierce fighting in the Spanish Civil War. El Templo de Debod sits where the Montaña barracks existed at the start of the war; this is where one of the most important events happened in the initial days following the uprising. Many will notice that the buildings on Rosales are fairly new. That’s because most buildings were destroyed in the Siege of Madrid from 1936-1939. They were bombed from above and subject to artillery fire from across the Manzanares in Casa de Campo. Throughout the park you will find reminders of the pitched, fierce fighting.

Yet another beautiful park within the city limits of Madrid and a really significant one. One end of the park hosts the Temple of Debod even though I couldn't visit it. It was not closed but I didn't get the time to reach there and get some pics. What makes it distinct is that the park comprises a geographically unsymmetrical terrain with slopes where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful sunset. It houses a variety of monuments and also a Bird Observatory within it. Good place to spend your evenings reading or relaxing away from city life!

Even though I missed the roses, I was there late September, this is a really beautiful park to escape the city hustle. Quiet and peaceful.

Great views of Madrid city and Royal Palace of Madrid from distant. It also has the Temple of Debod. A great place for sunset and ample parking space

This place is a dream! It’s close to my house so I tend to come here more often than other parks and it’s an oasis of peace. It’s very large so you can access it from different parts and walk in all directions. It’s extremely clean and well maintained, the trash cans are always empty and the lawns super lush! It’s an open park, so I wouldn’t be surprised if people slept there at night, but there’s no sign of it. Also, because of the open park factor I wouldn’t recommend walking there late at night (but I’m a woman so perhaps hyper aware of safety risks). Dogs are running around everywhere but generally owners are respectful and clean up after them as well as call them back if they see someone uncomfortable.

It is a very lovely park, it’s free and doesn’t cost anything, check the local times for when it opens and closes, it has a lovely little pond and a very nice statue in a water fountain, the garden is very well maintained and has lots of lovely flowers. Definitely worth checking out and taking a walk in the park. There are several other monuments close by worth checking out as well.

Gorgeous giant trees and multiple trails. Wonderful to have this kind of park right in the middle of the city.
