La Casa Encendia, a showcase of art, culture and science, is now taking a step beyond its walls: it is organizing field trips to the outskirts of Madrid to find and learn about singular types of trees. The trips are part nature walk and part information session (nature protection and conservation), and are organized by guides that are well informed and prepared. The first of these trips will focus on the “Olmos de Somontes” and “El Pardo” species and will take place on the 20th of February. The excursion will begin at La Casa Encendida and last approximately from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., the price is 15 euros.

For a bird’s view of the city visit the Teleferico de Madrid, around since 1969 and still retaining that old school touch. It is also a convenient way to enter Casa de Campo, the city’s largest municipal park and home to a variety of trees and animal species. A two way ticket is 5.15 Euros, though prices vary depending on the day and number of people per group. For more information go to the website.
