The Quinta de la Fuente del Berro<\/strong> is a small treasure in Madrid. Unfortunately, it is not as popular as other great parks<\/strong>. Nevertheless, it is very rewarding to visit its magnificent gardens<\/strong> full of different species of plants and tree<\/strong>s. You enjoy an incredible sensation of peace even though you are in a great city. The Quinta de la Fuente del Berro<\/strong> is the place we have chosen today for our section Corners of Madrid<\/strong>. We already opened this blog when we wrote about Opera<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A HISTORIC GARDEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Quinta de la Fuente del Berro<\/strong> was built in the XVII century, and it is one of the historic gardens<\/strong> in Madrid. The garden has over 13 hectares and 6 different gates<\/strong>. It is located between Calle Enrique D\/Almonte, Avenida Sainz de Baranda and the M-30 highway. It is a fact that in a great city it is possible to find peaceful corners<\/strong> where you can breathe fresh air<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Quinta<\/a><\/p>\n

At first, it had different owners and in 1900 it even had a velodrome and a roller coaster. In 1948, the city council of Madrid bought it and started to renovate it turning it into a garden<\/strong>. In 1954, the Quinta started to attract visitors it became officially a park open to the public.<\/p>\n

PONDS, A CASCADE, A SMALL PALACE… AND PEACOCKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you go to the Quinta de la Fuente del Berro, you will find stunning landscape gardening<\/strong> full of an important variety<\/strong> of trees<\/strong>. Furthermore, you will come across a neoclassical flight of steps made of stone as well as sculptures.<\/p>\n

\"Quinta<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, there is a beautiful fountain<\/strong> with a great vase, two ponds<\/strong> with ducks, a lovely cascade<\/strong> and the remains of an old small palace<\/strong>. We can also see the statues dedicated to Pushkin and Becquer. Apart from all these wonders, you will come across the peacocks<\/strong> which roam around the garden.<\/p>\n

WATER USED BY ROYALTY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many years ago, it was a widely held belief that the water of the Quinta de la Fuente del Berro had healing properties<\/strong> and were even aphrodisiac<\/strong>. Due to this, the water was very much in demand by royalty<\/strong> and therefore it was taken to the Royal Palace. At a later stage, this water was always served in banquets and royal receptions<\/strong>. Such was its fame and reputation that many guests preferred to drink it
\nrather than wine. This water is mentioned in Spanish light operas, in one-act comedies and even in literary works like Fortunata y Jacinta<\/em> written by Benito Perez Gald\u00f3s.<\/p>\n
