Retiro: Next to the City's Great Park
Living beside Parque del Retiro means morning runs past the Crystal Palace and picnics as a daily option. The residential streets between the park and Atocha station are leafy and calm, with the Prado a short walk away. A gentle, green base for museum-focused trips.
