Malaga Park Walk
(Málaga)
It is one of the few exterior botanical places in the European
continent that maintains species totally acclimated from tropical
and subtropical regions.
Created in the 19th century, making use of land reclaimed
from the sea. The park contains beautiful tropical flowering
trees and shrubs. Many of the unusual and exotic species were
brought from overseas, including Cuba, when Malaga was an
important world trading centre.
During the winter, open air concerts are held here every Sunday
which makes a refreshing change from the bucket and spade
scenario on the coast.
Nearby you can find the City Hall building constructed by
the local architect Fernando Guerrero Strachan, it was built
between 1912 & 1919.
It is very pleasant to stroll around this park as you make
your way to downtown Malaga from the sea front, the trees
and the almost hidden spots that surround you, add to the
charm of this walk. In the event that you still want to keep
strolling, without having to walk anymore, you can always
get a ride in one of the horse carriages that awaits visitors
at the end of the park.
