This garden near the Cathedrals is a lovely little place with a view of the river and some of the city and Casalis on the right side. On weekends, it's full of tourists but I imagine in the week it'll be very peaceful and quiet, I'm looking forward to seeing it in the spring/ summer as at the moment it's... More

Beautiful gardens 10 minutes walking from Plaza Mayor and very close to the Old Cathedral. They are beautiful in any time of the year (I visited several times) and even at night. It has a nice view over a part of the city and the river and is very quiet and pleasant to go for a walk alone, with friends... More

a beautiful park near the cathedrals. There is a well in the center where couples can place a lock with their initials. Supposedly the setting for La Celestina.

Our visit was probably a bit early in the year, to see any real blossoms, but the well with all the locks on was quite interesting to look at, and the views across the countryside were lovely, especially as we visited on the hottest day of our visit. It was very peaceful, and although small, there are plenty of separate... More

Behind the cathedral looking over the southern wall of the city is this garden, where Spain's version of Romeo and Juliet supposedly took place. It's become a lovers spot. Bring a lock and a lover to make it official.
