Historia Del Parque | Park History
El parque Europa se inaugur贸 el 3 de septiembre del 2010, por el alcalde de la Ciudad Pedro Roll谩n Ojeda. Sirvi贸 para recuperar una de las zonas m谩s degradadas de Torrej贸n de Ardoz, ya que est谩 espacio lo usaban como vertedero de basura. El parque Europa se ha convertido en la mayor zona verde de la ciudad con 236.809 metros cuadrados.
por supuesto tambi茅n se ha convertido en uno de los parques m谩s tur铆sticos de la comunidad de Madrid, es que este parque es realmente hermoso lleno de magia y cultura que nos trasladan al lugar y a la 茅poca de estos patrimonios culturales.

En el parque podemos encontrar 18 r茅plicas de monumentos Europeos y un trozo original de famosos Muro De Berl铆n como ya se los mencion茅. Este parque tambi茅n dispone de lagos y embarcaderos, cascadas, zonas infantiles y merenderos.
The Europa Park was inaugurated on September 3, 2010, by the Mayor of the City Pedro Roll谩n Ojeda. It served to recover one of the most degraded areas of Torrej贸n de Ardoz, since this space was used as a garbage dump. Europa Park has become the largest green area in the city with 236,809 square meters.
Of course it has also become one of the most touristic parks in the community of Madrid, is that this park is really beautiful full of magic and culture that take us to the place and the time of these cultural heritages.
In this park have been planted more than 5,000 trees, 100,000 shrubs and 80,000 seasonal flowers.
In the park we can find 18 replicas of European monuments and an original piece of the famous Berlin Wall as I mentioned before. This park also has lakes and piers, waterfalls, playgrounds and picnic areas.
Bueno, amigos ya contada un poco la historia, les quiero confesar que este parque queda a media hora en tren de d贸nde vivo, y al momento que nos toc贸 agarrar el autob煤s nos perdimos, pero bueno afortunadamente logramos el objetivo amigos llegamos al parque.
Well, friends, having told the story a little bit, I want to confess that this park is half an hour by train from where I live, and when we had to take the bus we got lost, but fortunately we reached the park.
Como ya era tarde decidimos comer en el restaurante, elegimos el Men煤 del d铆a que tra铆a 3 platillos, el de entrada ped铆 una ensalada cesar, el fuerte por decirlo de alguna forma, ped铆 pollo al grill con patatas fritas y de postre ped铆 una tarrina de helado sabor chocolate con nata.
| Primer plato | Segundo plato | Postre |
|---|---|---|
Mis amigos pidieron como plato de entrada huevos con patatas fritas, el siguiente plato fue lomito al grill y de postre una torta de chocolate.
| Primer plato | Segundo plato | Postre |
|---|---|---|
Toda la comida estuvo muy deliciosa y la atenci贸n supergenial, a dem谩s que nos sentamos en la terraza del restaurante y la vista era incre铆ble desde ah铆 pod铆amos ver parte del parque y del lago, fue un momento muy lindo la verdad. As铆 que luego nos fuimos a recorrer este hermoso parque.
As it was already late we decided to eat at the restaurant, we chose the Menu of the day which had 3 dishes, the starter I ordered a Caesar salad, the main course, so to speak, I ordered grilled chicken with french fries and for dessert I ordered a tub of chocolate flavored ice cream with cream.
My friends ordered eggs with french fries as a starter, the next dish was grilled tenderloin steak and for dessert a chocolate cake.
All the food was very delicious and the service was superb, besides we sat on the terrace of the restaurant and the view was incredible from there we could see part of the park and the lake, it was a very nice moment indeed. So then we went to tour this beautiful park.
Puerta de Brandenburgo | Brandenburg Gate
La puerta de Brandenburgo es la primera escultura que conocimos en este Parque. Se encuentra en Berl铆n y fue realizada en los a帽os 1788 y 1791, era una de las puertas que permit铆an el acceso a trav茅s de la antigua muralla que cercaba Berl铆n hasta 1860. Era una especie de aduana para cobrar los impuestos.
La puerta fue dise帽ada por Carl Gotthard Langhans, bas谩ndose en la Acr贸polis de la antigua Grecia, posee 6 columnas. La cuadriga que corona la puerta representa a la Diosa Victoria y es un elemento que se a帽adi贸 en 1793.
La puerta de Brandenburgo quedo inaccesible cuando se construy贸 el Muro de Berl铆n, en 1989 recupero su protagonismo original y se convirti贸 en el s铆mbolo de la reunificaci贸n de Alemania.
Nota: La puerta de Brandenburgo est谩 ubicada en Alemania, en el 2006 Berl铆n fue elegida "Ciudad Creativa" por la UNESCO.
Est谩 puerta que consta de 5 entradas es realmente hermosa y con mucha historia como les pude contar, la puesta de sol que hab铆a la hac铆a m谩s hermosa, espero alg煤n d铆a poder estar delante de la puerta original, respirar y sentir esa historia tan magn铆fica.
The Brandenburg Gate is the first sculpture we met in this park. It is located in Berlin and was made in the years 1788 and 1791, was one of the gates that allowed access through the old wall that surrounded Berlin until 1860. It was a kind of customs to collect taxes.
The gate was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans, based on the Acropolis of ancient Greece, has 6 columns. The quadriga that crowns the door represents the Goddess Victory and is an element that was added in 1793.
The Brandenburg Gate was inaccessible when the Berlin Wall was built, in 1989 it regained its original prominence and became the symbol of the reunification of Germany.
Note: The Brandenburg Gate is located in Germany, in 2006 Berlin was elected "Creative City" by UNESCO.
This gate that has 5 entrances is really beautiful and with a lot of history as I could tell you, the sunset that was there made it more beautiful, I hope someday I can be in front of the original gate, breathe and feel that magnificent history.
Muro De Berl铆n | Berlin Wall
Resulta que tras la II guerra mundial, Berl铆n qued贸 dividido en dos partes, la parte Est茅, gobernada por la URSS que se convirti贸 en la Capital de la Rep煤blica Democr谩tica de Alemania (RDA); mientras la parte oeste Era una zona controlada por EEUU, Francia y Reino Unido, motivo de tensi贸n entre ambos bandos y de la llamada Guerra Fr铆a. La RDA construy贸 el famoso Muro de Berl铆n en agosto de 1961, haciendo imposible el paso de un lado al otro de la ciudad.
El Muro de Berl铆n "Cay贸" en la noche del jueves 9 de noviembre de 1989, y sirvi贸 para reunificar Alemania. La ca铆da del Muro se convirti贸 en un s铆mbolo de la libertad.
It turns out that after World War II, Berlin was divided into two parts, the East part, governed by the USSR which became the capital of the Democratic Republic of Germany (GDR), while the West part was an area controlled by the USA, France and the United Kingdom, which caused tension between the two sides and the so-called Cold War. The GDR built the famous Berlin Wall in August 1961, making it impossible to pass from one side of the city to the other.
The Berlin Wall "fell" on the night of Thursday, November 9, 1989, and served to reunify Germany. The fall of the Wall became a symbol of freedom.
To see this small fragment of the wall is incredible, and to be able to have it so close, really the park was careful to have this part of the great wall of Berlin and to exhibit it so that tourists like me can observe it closer, and in this small piece you can appreciate an engraved plate of the time, although to be a little sincere I am very happy that this wall was destroyed, and that today it is a symbol of freedom; Freedom that we should have in all the countries of the world.
Teatro Griego | Greek Theater
El teatro construido en el parque Europa recrea los que exist铆an en la antigua Grecia, est谩s instalaciones las constru铆an para acoger representaciones tr谩gicas y c贸micas que se celebraban durante las numerosas festividades del calendario griego.
Nota: A Grecia se le considera la cuna de la cultura Y de la civilizaci贸n Europea, tambi茅n es conocida por ser el lugar donde se crearon los juegos ol铆mpicos.
Este teatro o como yo prefiero llamarle plaza es muy linda y acord茅 a la 茅poca les debo confesar que me sent铆 parte de esas pel铆culas griegas d贸nde recrean las guerras con gladiadores, o quiz谩s d贸nde soltaban leones o cualquiera tipo de entretenimiento para los Reyes o personas que gobernaban en esas 茅pocas, desde muy ni帽a ve铆a ese tipo de pel铆culas, pero jam谩s me imagin茅 poder estar en uno, aunque sea solo una r茅plica, 驴se imaginan c贸mo era en la 茅poca?, aunque a m铆 parecer eran muy crueles... estar en un coliseo debi贸 estar cargado de muchos sentimientos y emociones.
The theater built in Europa Park recreates the ones that existed in ancient Greece, these facilities were built to host tragic and comic representations that were celebrated during the numerous festivities of the Greek calendar.
Note: Greece is considered the cradle of European culture and civilization, it is also known for being the place where the Olympic Games were created.
This theater or as I prefer to call it square is very nice and according to the time I must confess that I felt part of those Greek movies where they recreate the wars with gladiators, or perhaps where they released lions or any kind of entertainment for the Kings or people who ruled in those times, since I was a child I saw such movies, but I never imagined being in one, even if it was only a replica, can you imagine how it was at the time? although in my opinion they were very cruel... being in a coliseum must have been loaded with many feelings and emotions.
Plaza Espa帽a | Plaza Espa帽a
Es un conjunto arquitect贸nico construido alrededor de una gran plaza rectangular de 1000 metros cuadrados, que representa la Plaza Mayor de cualquier municipio Espa帽ol, est谩 rodeada por 3 edificios, la parte central representa la madrile帽a Puerta del Sol y la Real Casa de Correos y por la parte de atr谩s la plaza mayor de Madrid.
Nota: cabe destacar que Espa帽a es el cuarto pa铆s Europeo m谩s grande, est谩 dividida en 17 comunidades, y dos ciudades aut贸nomas.
Desde que llegu茅 a Espa帽a me he topado con muchas de estas plazas y son muy lindas y encantadoras forma parte de la cultura en cada una de estas plazas vas a encontrar a personas mayores, j贸venes, ni帽os, personas paseando a sus mascotas como les dije son muy lindas y te puedes sentar tranquilamente que el d铆a se te pasa volando.
It is an architectural complex built around a large rectangular square of 1000 square meters, which represents the Plaza Mayor of any Spanish municipality, is surrounded by 3 buildings, the central part represents Madrid's Puerta del Sol and the Real Casa de Correos and in the back the main square of Madrid.
*Note: Spain is the fourth largest European country, it is divided into 17 communities, and two autonomous cities.
Since I arrived in Spain I have come across many of these squares and they are very nice and charming, it is part of the culture in each of these squares you will find old people, young people, children, people walking their pets as I said they are very nice and you can sit quietly and the day will fly by.
La Sirenita | The Little Mermaid
La sirenita se encuentra en la bah铆a del puerto de Copenhague, mide 1.65 metros pesa 175 kilos y est谩 realizada con bronce fundido, la sirenita es un homenaje al cuento hom贸nimo que escribi贸 Hans Christian Andersen y representa a su protagonista. Esta r茅plica es creada en el parque a escala real.
Nota: Copenhague es la capital de Dinamarca.
Esta escultura realmente me sorprendi贸 y hasta me hizo recordar mi tiempo de ni帽ez donde me encantaba ver la pel铆cula de la sirenita jaja, pero investigando un poco de esta r茅plica a tama帽o real, la historia cuenta que estaba ubicada en un puerto y que los pescadores y capitanes de los barcos se dirig铆an al sitio donde se encontraba est谩 estatua y ah铆 desahogaban su cargo de consciencia debido a sus infidelidades, para sentirse mejor. Curioso 驴no?
The little mermaid is located in the harbor bay of Copenhagen, measures 1.65 meters, weighs 175 kilos and is made of cast bronze, the little mermaid is a tribute to the homonymous tale written by Hans Christian Andersen and represents its protagonist. This replica is created in the park on a real scale.
Note: Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark.
This sculpture really surprised me and even made me remember my childhood time where I loved to watch the movie of the little mermaid haha, but researching a little of this life-size replica, the story goes that it was located in a port and that fishermen and captains of ships went to the site where this statue was located and there they unburdened their conscience due to their infidelities, to feel better. Curious, isn't it?
