Parque España — Attraction in Mexico City

If you're looking for a chill break in Mexico City, you've got to wander over to Parque España. It's not one of those huge, famous parks, but that's part of its charm. It's tucked away in Condesa, and it's just this really lovely, leafy green space. It feels super relaxed and residential. You'll see locals out walking their dogs (lots of cute ones!), people jogging, or just sitting on benches reading a book. There are some nice pathways, a few statues, and just generally a really pleasant atmosphere. It's one of those places that feels like a real neighborhood park – calm, inviting, and a perfect spot to just be. If you've been doing a lot of sightseeing and need a quiet moment, or just want to soak up the local vibe, Parque España is a fantastic little oasis.

Lovely park. Not as big as neighboring Parque Mexico but the children's play area might be the same size or bigger, has bathrooms and a library branch adjacent, and has a nice tall fence around the whole play area.

In A Nutshell:

-Parque Espana is such a cool park! -If you own a dog, this is the place everyone takes their dogs, some people take one, some take 10+, seriously, the people of CDMX really love dogs. -I like the outdoor workout equipment, I mean I saw people lifting rocks, I love that stuff, hardcore natural body weight exercises, definitely my cup of tea. -The park is small, yet it's big enough to get a nice brisk walk to start your day or to take a break from your day. -There are plenty of trees to provide nice, cool shade & there's some water features too. -Keep a lookout for the lady who sells pastries & coffee, her little pushcart stands out b/c there tons of honeybees hovering on or near her cart due to them eating the sugar she uses for the coffee.

Overall, this is a really nice park, you should definitely...
