A Spanish Garden

This beautiful garden is located in the Museo Sorolla (the former home and atelier of Joaquín Sorolla). Designed by the artist himself and inspired by Andalusia, it was planted between 1915 and 1916. While sitting in this gorgeous spot located in the heart of Madrid, we reveled in a very peaceful reprieve and captured a memorable moment to cherish for a very long time.

    beautiful and so refreshing...
    i was wondering, are you planning to visit Andalucia and especially Granada?

    we have to go to Madrid but keep postponing it because of the heat!

    Enjoy it all
