El Palacio de Cristal

If any of you are planning on heading to Madrid over the Easter break and have a spare couple of hours I thoroughly recommend a visit to the Palacio de Cristal. This gorgeous glass building is nestled at the heart of Retiro Park alongside one of the park's prettiest lakes.


 
 
The building itself is essentially a huge glass conservatory (though much more beautiful than your average greenhouse!) and houses different art exhibitions throughout the year. I always used to love coming here on warm afternoons, watching the ducks paddle around and the sunlight casting rainbows on the floor of the palace.
 

 
 
 
The best thing is it's free to enter and with it being a popular tourist spot there's often a busker or two strumming away in the shade. If any of you do pay this place a visit I'd love to know what you thought - comment down below! :)
