Arboreto Giner de los Ríos, Arboretum in Rascafría, Sierra Norte of Madrid, Spain.
The Arboreto Giner de los Ríos contains over 200 species of trees and shrubs arranged according to their geographical origins from Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
The botanical space opened to the public in 2002, named after Francisco Giner de los Ríos, founder of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza educational movement.
A granite inscription at the entrance displays the 1907 quote about tree contemplation, reflecting the deep connection between nature and education.
Located opposite the Monastery of Santa María del Paular, the arboretum offers free access and remains open from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM on weekends and holidays.
Each geographical section features distinct plaza areas with representative trees, supported by the local climate that enables diverse species to thrive together.
