Barajas

Suburban Barajas is home to Madrid's international airport and the 18th-century garden of Parque El Capricho, encompassing a laurel maze, lakeside lawns, and a bunker from the Spanish Civil War. Neighboring Parque Juan Carlos I draws cyclists, canoeists, and golfers to a vast green leisure area with modern sculptures and a rustic olive grove. Low-key neighborhood taverns contrast with nearby hotel bars.
