Botanical Gardens photos

These are photos of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Madrid just northeast of Atocha train station (a 10 minute walk) next to the Prado Museum. It costs around 2 euros to get in per person (little children free, etc.). There are some 8,000 species on 20 acres of these extremely pleasant gardens which were built in the late 1700s. Some of their really healthy trees reach 40 metres and overall the grounds and identifying signs are kept up very well.
