Experience Príncipe Real

Príncipe Real Garden

A romantic garden is the center of a square surrounded by elegant buildings.
It's an urban refuge with a gigantic parasol-like cedar tree.

Every Saturday it's also home to a farmers' market for fans of organic fruits and vegetables, while every last Saturday and Monday of each month there's a market of crafts and antiques.

Underneath it all is a stone reservoir from the 1800s that's part of the city's Water Museum and often rented for private events.
