Some of them have only been reopened for a few days, but parks such as El Retiro will close again this Sunday as of six in the afternoon as a preventive measure, due to the strong gusts of wind announced by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). At the entrances to the parks, informative posters will be placed so that they are evicted at the scheduled time.
The City Council has indicated in a message on social networks that this red alert for adverse weather conditions prevents Madrid residents from a possible risk. “The Retiro has a surface of 120 hectares and many of its trees are large and of advanced age, so they may suffer damage or fractures in branches and trunks,” the Town Hall explains in a statement. The closure will also apply to the Quinta de los Molinos, Torre Arias, Fuente del Berro, Jardines de Sabatini and the Rosaleda del Parque del Oeste.
