The Cecilio Rodríguez Gardens:
An exquisite venue for the Opening Ceremony of the 19 Conference of the European Association for Sport Management 2011
The Gardens of Cecilio Rodríguez are a beautiful area of the greater Retiro Park, situated in the centre of Madrid. A venue designed for conventions, gala dinners and official ceremonies, belonging to the Madrid City Council and hosted by the Madrid Convention Bureau, it is one of the most beautiful places to celebrate events in the capital city.

Cecilio Rodríguez Cuevas (Valladolid, 1865 - Madrid, 1953) was a great Spanish gardener and landscape designer, whose work is intimately linked with the Retiro Park. He was elected “Jardinero Mayor” (Chief Gardener) of the Retiro Park in 1914, and was the author of the Rosary Garden project, among others.
