Flowering Frangipani flourishing in the Gardens of Malaga
El Parque
Malaga's city park which runs alongside the "Paseo
del Parque", was created at the end of 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.
Jardin Botanic-Historic
"La Concepcion"
Just outside Malaga, "Finca de la Concepcion"
is another magnificent botanical garden. There are regular guided
tours of the gardens which pass through exotic trees and plants,
Roman sculptures and a waterfall.
More information about Parks and Gardens in and around Malaga city can be found in our Gardens section.
