The best view of the City

As I told you last week there are a few secrets that you must know before visiting a city, previous to start the sharing of knowledge about restaurants and interesting places to make your stay more comfortable, I ll help you up to find the best view of the city with out having to climb a mountain or going up to a 50 floor.










There is a great park or place in town, just 4 minutes by car from the "Retiro Park", the biggest park in downtown, this place where we can see the city better than any place in town is only well know by the people from the neighborhood and most of the citizen from Madrid have never been there before.


Hidden in the southeast part of Madrid, there are 7 grass hills that stand up from the ground, only a minute of hike will take you to the sky of the city, that's beacuse these hills are place in the lowest part of town and you can see from there how the city starts to get altitude from it lowest point in the southeast to its highest point in the north, were are the 4 modern buildings that I choose for the picture of my first post on this blog, and to finish the mountain range on the back with snow on the winter season.


Popular know as "Las Tetas de Vallecas" or its real name " El Cerro del Tio Pio" is with out doubt the best place to see the sunset or to enjoy a view that has been paint for one of the most famous Spanish artist alive " Antonio Lopez", so choose one of the seven hills, get to the top, relax on the grass, take your time and enjoy this peaceful and sweet place in a great city alone or with your best company.
