Campo San Francisco park

Campo San Francisco offers breathing space within the urban walk. This central park developed from land associated with the former Franciscan convent and combines broad promenades with winding paths. Rather than taking the shortest route across, wander among the trees and look for its monuments. The Romanesque doorway from the former church of San Isidoro shows how a garden can preserve fragments of vanished buildings. This is an everyday meeting place for reading and resting. With children, slow down and allow time to observe and play in appropriate areas. After rain, watch for wet ground. The shopping streets are easily reached from its edges.
