Como cada año los Castaños de Indias del Parque del Retiro de Madrid son los primeros en avisarnos que el otoño ha llegado tornando su color verde a rojizo, como si fuese una bandera y cubriendo los paseos con una alfombra de hojas que crujen a nuestro paso.
Su fruto maduro, la castaña que no se puede comer, cae de forma natural al suelo envuelta en su funda verde y espinosa que se abre para mostrar su contenido.
Todo el Retiro se cubre de un color dorado que dura hasta que caen todas las hojas en Noviembre pero, mientras tanto, podemos disfrutar otro año más de este maravilloso espectáculo de color otoñal.
As every year the Indian Chestnut of Retiro Park in Madrid are the first to tell us that autumn has arrived bringing his green color to red, as if it were a flag and covering the paths with a carpet of leaves rustling in our way.
Its ripe fruit chestnut can not eat, naturally falls to the ground wrapped in her green and thorny cover that opens to reveal its contents.
All Retiro Park is covered with a golden color that lasts until all the leaves fall in November but, meanwhile, we can enjoy another year of this wonderful show of fall color.
