Beauty of "El Parque del Retiro"

The Retiro park is the one I most visited in some sunny weekends afternoons. Most of time, it is never a quiet place for reading, you always see kids chasing around and non-stopping drum performance every corner, folk magician performance, dancing, puppet theater...but it is these elements that make Retiro so ALIVE, it is a place for everyone...


Some pics of Retiro...The 1st one is Retiro lake at 10pm in summer, the 2nd around 4pm in autumn.



The 3rd kids watching live puppet theater performance. Usually one performer plays two or three different roles at one time, and always funny stories with happy ending. Simply standing there feeling the atmosphere has already been delightful experience...from time to time, kids shout out of surprise or burst into laughters by the stories of small characters on the stage, they just take so seriously for each single plot...lovely innocence of young hearts...



The 4th pic a common Spanish family...The little girl standing next to the bike in the pic suddenly found that I was taking her pic, she immediately called on her parents, I was so embarrassed and simply ran away...stupid foreigner, jajaja!
