Lifeguards put little effort into separating swimmers by speed, which might be fine for intermediate swimmers but tough for fast swimmers. Signage for "calle rapida" doesn't really mean anything. Swimmers also don't pay attention to others in their lane; I would hate to see these poeple driving. Pool is crowded most hours, but the problem isn't the crowds but the lifeguards and the other swimmers. Learn to respect others people!

My mom and I did their 4:00 PM E-bike tour this past week. It was a great experience and our guide…read morewas excellent! I would recommend doing this tour on your first day/afternoon in Madrid so you can get acclimated to the city and see some of the main sites. Our guide, Fran, was knowledgeable, personable, and animated. The background he provided at each of the sites was interesting and helped us learn more about Madrid and Spanish history. He also had great tips and recommendations for where to go in Madrid. The tour was about 10-15 people I'd say. It was a good size to command enough attention to safely drive on the road in a lane but have everyone stay together. They provided a water bottle, helmet, bike. Fran even took us to a special "surprise stop" at the end (churros!). With the E-bike, you could adjust the assistance and you still pedaled to make the assist go, but it was a good choice to have some assist as there are hills and you don't want to worry about having to keep up on going when you're driving in a lane on the road. The shop also has bikes, roller blades, and skate/penny boards for rent.

Just to give you a sense of scale, at…read more300 acres, it's a shade smaller than London's Hyde Park and a little over 1/3 of the size of Central Park. However, El Retiro (as locals call it) is over 200 years older than Central Park, starting as the private royal grounds. Its centerpiece is Estanque Grande (Grand Lake), a huge 17th-century artificial lake covered in rowboats on the weekend (Photo 3). Dominating the lake is the majestic Monument to Alfonso XII built in bronze and marble with an expansive colonnade (Photo 6). Because Madrid's most famous museums stand close to the park's western edge, we walked along the Statue Walk where Spanish monarchs are memorialized (Photo 7). Jamie W and I also visited another smaller lake that features the Art Nouveau-style Palacio de Cristal (Crystal Palace), but unfortunately it was closed. However, we took advantage of the Kiosco Nacional Palacio de Cristal, an open-air terrace cafe that served light lunch fare and coffee drinks (Photo). We couldn't help but indulge in a couple of desserts (Photo 2). Moreover, even though the park was plenty crowded, there was still a sense of bucolic serenity here. It wasn't a challenge to find a peaceful respite amid the overall greenery, especially with the sometimes overwhelming urbania outside the park. RELATED - Exploring Madrid?

There are numerous entrances into the park and walking paths throughout. On a pretty day, it's hard to find a better place to spend the afternoon. The people watching is fantastic, and there are multiple things to see and do inside the park, including the crystal Palace. I love to go sit by the lake and watch the people on the boats. They are often musicians playing, kids riding their bikes, and families enjoying all that Madrid has to offer.

I think I am a Pilates convert…read more We were recently in Madrid for several weeks on vacation and I was unable to find a gym that would let us join without having a Spanish bank account - ridiculous. So I decided to seek out Pilates classes to get a little more exposure. I spent a fair amount of time looking at different places near Barrio Salamanca where we were staying and ultimately came upon Pilates Zentro online. Natalia runs her own studio which is elegant and clean. And I thought her prices were very reasonable. Two things in particular stood out for me. The first is that Natalia is a great teacher with a great eye. I'm by no means super sporty, but over the years I've done some personal training, yoga and some Pilates classes. I think you just get a sense when someone can really see your body and how to help. Natalia is one of those people. As someone with a history of back problems, I felt that I was in good and knowledgeable hands. The second and more surprising thing is more personal. Because I was so enthusiastic, my husband decided to try it as well. He's not a gym/exercise person so I won't say that he loved Pilates, (he used to run quite a bit) but he did like Natalia and felt that he had learned a lot. Within 2 classes, even I could notice that he was walking taller and looked stronger and thinner. He was thinking about his body in new ways. Natalia does speak English. And when she didn't know a word she was deftly able to find a way to communicate what I needed to do. She is a certified by the woman who inherited the studio from Pilates himself. (I must confess that I don't fully get all of the various schools of Pilates, but what Natalia teaches is the "original" form.) If you're in Madrid and looking for Pilates classes, I'd highly recommend trying out her studio.

If you are looking for a Pilates instructor or physical therapist in Madrid, Pilates Zentro is the…read moreplace to go! I spent a year working in Madrid and developed severe back pain about half way through. Pilates sessions helped me in the past so I looked for online reviews of instructors in Madrid. After reading the other Yelp review I contacted the studio. Natalia responded quickly and I was able to schedule several sessions soon after. Natalia's studio is really a hidden gem in Madrid. It's a fully equipped Pilates studio with all the equipment and space for mat classes. It's in a charming area with nice shops and a great organic food store across the street. I only took private sessions, but I know she offers other options. However, the studio is also a physical therapy clinic as well. I know there are others that work there that speak English, but I only worked with Natalia. I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Natalia. She explains everything clearly (in English or Spanish, if you prefer) and has a great personality. She is able to tailor each session to your needs. Natalia is also a fully qualified physical therapist and she does massage therapy. When my back was really bad we did more physical therapy based exercises and massage. This helped me immensely and I was able to continue my job without taking time off. I have seen many physical therapists in the US over the years and can say that Natalia's knowledge and expertise is extraordinary. I was very sad when my time in Madrid came to end knowing that I won't be able to continue my sessions at Pilates Zentro. However, whenever I am in Spain I look forward to working with Natalia again!

Trapped in an apocalyptic laboratory, we became humanity's last stand against a zombie outbreak. Using our wits and teamwork, we had only one hour to figure out the formula to destroy the zombies or else it was over for the entire human population! Probably one of the most fun experiences I've ever had. Completely immersive and captivating, we finished our mission with minutes to spare! The staff was friendly, helpful and fun. The game itself was very imaginative and creative, and once you finish the game - you're welcome to drinks and to hang around - a nice touch. I recommend this escape game to anyone in Madrid looking to give it a go. I will definitely be doing more escape games a try in the future!
