Behind a wall at Plaza de la Paja in Madrid’s La Latina district, the Garden of the Prince of Anglona is a small, quiet garden that once belonged to a noble residence. Its roses are a draw when they bloom, and the enclosed setting offers a calm pause among the cafes and restaurants nearby. Stop in while exploring the neighbourhood; the garden is modest in size, so it works best as a brief visit rather than a destination across the city.
