Boadilla del Monte, about 15 minutes from central Madrid, features an 18th-century neoclassical palace and recently restored gardens. Access to the gardens is free.
According to noticiasdelvino.com, Boadilla del Monte is approximately 15 minutes from central Madrid and combines an 18th-century neoclassical palace with a Mediterranean forest open to residents. The municipality, which the publication ranks among the highest per capita income areas in Spain, is accessible by Metro Ligero.
The main monument is the Palace of Infante Don Luis, which was the residence of King Charles III's brother. Its Italian-style gardens have been recently restored and entry is free.
Next to them is the Monte de Boadilla, a forested area of oaks and pines with designated routes for walking or cycling. The report notes that, if one remains quiet, it is possible to see rabbits and woodpeckers.
In the urban area is the Convent of the Incarnation, founded in the 17th century, whose brick architecture contrasts with that of the palace. Those visiting with children can go to the Environmental Classroom, which organises free activities to learn about the forest.
The squares in the old town concentrate the dining options and outdoor terraces, which operate for much of the year.
