Paseo de Recoletos, Tree-lined promenade in Centro district, Madrid, Spain
Paseo de Recoletos extends from Plaza de Cibeles to Plaza de Colon, featuring wide pedestrian paths bordered by historic buildings and decorative fountains.
King Charles III commissioned architect Jose de Hermosilla to transform the area of the old Bajo Abronigal river into this grand boulevard during the 18th century.
The National Library of Spain stands along this promenade, while Cafe Gijon at number 21 has gathered writers and intellectuals since its establishment in 1888.
The boulevard connects to multiple metro stations and bus stops, making it a central point for transportation through Madrid's main districts.
Eight sequential ponds with white double Doric columns create small waterfalls along the central pedestrian section of the promenade.
