In the east, overlooked by the retro-looking silver transmission tower, the restful Parque del Oeste contains fir trees and students relaxing on the grass (thanks to the nearby universities). Catch a cable car across the Manzanares river to the Casa de Campo, or watch sunset from a terrace on lively Paseo del Pintor Rosales or the Templo del Debod. The bus station is a major hub for the north-west.
