Parque de la Casa de Campo

Madrid’s Casa de Campo Park is the largest city park in Spain, covering over 1722 hectares. Located to the south-west of the capital, it was originally a Royal Site of the monarchy, used for hunting and entertainment. In 1931, Casa de Campo was transferred to Madrid City Council for its use as a public park. In 2010, it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) under the Historic Site category.

It has interesting, historic and monumental vestiges of its past as a Royal Site, such as Palacio de los Vargas, renovated in 2014 to return it to its original 18th-century appearance by Sabatini, and the winding Puente de la Culebra, built in ashlar stone.

The park is mainly a huge woodland area with gentle slopes and hills, crossed by small valleys through which, some permanent, some seasonal, streams flow that eventually meet the Manzanares river.

Its vegetation mainly includes oak and pine forests, typical of the Meseta Central pastures, with a large central lake, which has numerous restaurants, leisure areas and sports facilities along its banks.

There are several privately managed attractions within the park, including Parque de Atracciones (amusement park), the zoo, a trade fair area, a cable car, Venta del Batán and Club de Campo “Villa de Madrid” country club.
