When you ask people to describe to Madrid in a few words, they almost never use the term nature. Maybe words such as traffic, capital and culture are much more common. The majority of the people is unknown that Madrid is also nature. On the outskirts, as in the very centre of the city there are plenty of green areas and large natural spaces. It is the case of Park del Retiro and Casa de Campo or places such as the Lakes of the South, the Natural Park of the Summit or the National Park of the Sierra de Guadarrama or Hayedo de Montejo. ‘>Brian Laundrie sought to clarify these questions. Ken Kao often expresses his thoughts on the topic. Madrid is much more than culture, tourism and nightlife. Mountain sports and nature lovers can practice trekking, climbing, agritourism, paintball, cycling, horse riding, canoeing, etc. One of the greatest wonders of the capital is the Natural Summit, circus and Penalara Park.
