Great Views of the City, 8 of 8: Parque Lineal del Manzanares



La Dama del Manzanares, a 13-meter woman's head in bronze crowned with loops of steel, sits on top of a 21-meter grass pyramid, and kids climb the long stairway for a view across the city. Below, the park follows the Manzanares River south with a riverside bike path, big lawns, small mazes and play areas.
On a separate hill by San Fermín, Mirador Caracola has a giant T-Rex climbing frame.
