Another photowalk till my legs ached. Calling it quits for the day, I took the same path towards our hotel for the week. 🚶Along the way, I stopped by the Islas de Filipinas and Madrid’s equivalent of our Rizal Park. ⛲There are similar parks for the other countries which centuries before were colonies of Spain.🇪🇸
Inside the park, there is a joggers’ path 👣👟🏃and a bike lane.🚲 Several benches were scattered inside the park where the center has been developed into a golf range.⛳ In one corner, there was even a cervezaria. 🍺The classier version of our beer garden. 🍻
At the corner is the monument to our national hero, flanked by two tablets of Dr. Jose Rizal’s Mi Ultimo Adios and its Filipino translation.📝 Imagine that! Dear Spain had this man, our national hero, wiped off the face of the earth yet built this monument in his memory.

It is nice to know that Rizal has a monument in Madrid. I will definitely pass by once I get the chance to visit Spain. Barcelona, Madrid and Ibiza in my dreams ❤
I’ll definitely drop by to see Dr. Rizal’s statue when I am in Madrid!
Wow! Bilib na talaga ako kay Dr. Jose Rizal. Amazing din na merong Tagalog version diyan mismo sa Spain. 🙂
Makes us proud, di ba?
