The Jardines de Sabatini of Madrid, part II !!!

Posted in Europe, Madrid, Spain

I come back right at you again with my beloved Madrid , never get tired of seeing it writing, speaking of it. You know me by now right….. This is Madrid! I like to tell you more about a wonderful garden, which as usual lately found me a couple older pictures that should be in my blog , Therefore, here is my take on the Jardines de Sabatini of Madrid, part II !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I

The Jardines de Sabatini or gardens are done in the neo classicist style ,created in 1933 in the spot that occupied the stables built by Sabatini for the Royal Palace (see post) , hence the name. Located in front of the Royal Palace’s northern façade, the gardens were renovated in 1978. It was king Juan Carlos I who opened the park to the public. Located officially at Calle Bailén, 2 ,on the Cuesta San Vicente, and the best way other than walking to it is by metro Opera lines 2,5 and Radial and Sol lines 1 ,2 and 3, Principe Pio line 6 and the bus lines 3,25,39,46,75,138, and 148.

Today, a large, round Fuente de Peces or Fishes fountain with tritons is at the intersection of the two major axes that are surrounded on all sides by quadrants and conifers, with trees arranged along the perimeter. There is also, a statues to Carlos III, The pond is surrounded by statues of Spanish kings some of these are Alfonso X el Sabio, Jaime el Conquistador, Alfonso VIII, Alfonso VI de Castilla, Felipe II, Fernando el Católico, Isabel la Católica ,and Fernando III el Santo, At sunset the views over the gardens is awesome !! One more reason to come to Madrid! The Sabatini gardens are gorgeous and really can spend an afternoon strolling it very nice,

The renovation completed in 2022 has created a space that is highly focused on pedestrians. The expansion of the Plaza de España, (see post) eliminating the traffic on this part, communicates directly with the access to the Sabatini Gardens, creating one of the best places to walk in Madrid.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
