Dehesa de la Villa Park

Dehesa de la Villa is a 40-hectare park in northern Madrid with pine forests, grasslands, and natural terrain connected by walking paths throughout. The vegetation reflects the Mediterranean landscape, with different plant species that shift with the seasons.

The land began as a royal hunting ground in medieval times before becoming a public park for Madrid residents. This transformation opened access to green space for people across the city.

The park serves as a green retreat where residents escape the city and reconnect with nature through daily walks and family outings. Locals use the open spaces to slow down and notice the changing seasons.

The park is easily accessible by public transportation with entrances at multiple locations throughout the area. Facilities like restrooms, water fountains, playgrounds, and sports areas are distributed across the site.

From raised areas within the park, visitors can see across Madrid to the Guadarrama mountains on the horizon. These viewpoints reveal the city's position between urban development and the natural landscape beyond.
