...Recuerdo", and they three are opened from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The streets
Cars are not allowed to get into the park, except policemen, firemen and cleaners.
Most of the streets have names of hispano-american countries, like Panamá or Argentina.
There are some places that generate confusion: for example, the monument to Cuba is located in El Salvador Square. You will see cases like that in other parts of Madrid :P.
Most famous places

I did find that there was a lack of information - it was not clear at the outset of a journey that the lines were closed and the new airport link was open but this was difficult to tell and judging by the low number of tourists using the link few other people knew too.
