Parque Europa

Parque Europa  lodges one of  the biggest areas of greens and recreation in   Torrejon de Ardoz. It extends over a surface of 233,000 m2, and has the reproduction of the most emblematic monuments of the main European cities as well as   different forms of recreation (with picnic grounds)  and multi-adventure areas, including small parks for dogs dividing the area between small ones and big ones, and best of all, it has a cybernetics fountain which is unique in all Europe, where every week-end at 11:00 pm they present a show of water, light and sound.

Last night, Ron and me marvelled in watching the show, which is free and so is the entrance to the park.  It is a place that the residents of Torrejon de Ardoz can be proud of and  is an excellent achievement of  their city mayor, Pedro Roldan who in the latest elections renewed his post with majority votes.

The 17 monuments that can be seen in the park are as follows:

Muro de Berlín-                     Wall of Berlin 
Puerta de Brandenburgo-  Gate of Berlin
Teatro Griego-                       Greek theater

La Sirenita-                             Mermaid in Copenhagen
Barco Vikingo-                      Viking Boat from Sweden
Fontana de Trevi-                 Italian Fountain of Trevi
David de Miguel Ángel-       Florence David of Michelangelo
Torre Eiffel-                            Eiffel Tower in France

Manneken Pis-                      Little Man Pee of Brussels
Plaza de Europa-                  European Plaza
Atomium-                                Expo 1958 Brussels
Puerta de Alcalá-                  Gate Entrance in Madrid
