About Retiro
Living beside the park.
Retiro takes its name from the great park at its heart. Homes overlooking the park or on the quiet streets around it are among the most sought-after in the city, and they draw families and buyers who value green space, calm and a central location.
- Mornings in the Retiro, evenings on the Paseo.
- Boats on the Retiro lake.
- The Palacio de Cristal and its gardens.
- The Prado and the Paseo del Arte close by.
- Quiet streets and neighbourhood cafés.
