In spring and during the rainy season, the blue surface of the Esteras lagoon is an environmental jewel in the arid landscape of the rural moorland. The volume of water depends on rainfall and evaporation. During long periods of high temperatures, the water disappears and becomes a white salt lake with a noticeable crust of mineral salts. In this case, it is advisable not to enter the lake to closely observe the sodium sulphate crystals because it is a mud trap, the wetland is always under the salt.

The Garden of the Prince in Aranjuez, also known as the Garden of the Prince of Asturias, is a space of great beauty and historical relevance. The name is due to Charles IV, who ordered its creation when he still held the title of Prince of Asturias. This garden preserves previous elements, such as the Island's orchard. I hope you enjoy your visit to the Jardín del Príncipe in Aranjuez! 🏰🌳🌸

Impressive and wide park to the northeast of the Palace, of 150 hectares, delimited by the Tagus river, and that stands out for its botanical wealth.

You can find this place in the middle area of the Prince's Gardens, accessing through the Puerta de la Plaza Redonda. It is an artificial lake with three islets where you can see a Greek-style temple with Ionic columns that emulate being made of marble, which was built at the beginning of the 18th century by Juan de Villanueva, who was the architect of the Prado museum building.
