Nearby is a small but very well done arboretum as well as the serene Parque del Buen Retiro (though I doubt it is so serene immediately after a big football (soccer) game. The park was originally the palatial grounds with an artificial lake adjacent to the massive Alfonso some number mausoleum, complete with many more partially dressed (or undressed) statues of marble, plaster and bronze. Obviously the Spanish do not share the American view of appropriate statues.
