#37 See all of Madrid from the Tetas de Vallecas park

I should preface this post by telling you two things:

     1. This park is actually called Parque Cerro del Tío Pío.
     2. I have attempted twice to get to this park during the day (i.e. before the sun set). I have failed twice.

Okay, so explanation of point one. This tiny park is located in Vallecas, a neighborhood in the southeast of Madrid. It's a nice little park formed of several little hills. Thanks to the shape of the hills, someone - and I'd venture to guess someone of the male gender - nicknamed the park "las Tetas de Vallecas." The response that I received to my comment on how I thought the nickname is a bit funny, since the hills are not of equal size: "Well, the human body isn't always symmetrical!"

Point two. The tetas - err, hills - give you great views of Madrid, both during the day and while the sun sets. Naturally, because I'm lazy, I've tried to go a little bit before sunset to kill two birds with one stone. And, naturally, I've underestimated the time it takes to get there from my apartment. The second attempt was more successful, in that there was still a bit of light and I was able to take some mediocre photos. Maybe one day I'll manage to get there during the day?
