Parque de Málaga

These botanical gardens feature species of plants and trees brought in from all over the world. The mild climate allows them all to flourish on land reclaimed from the sea in 1897. You'll come across squares and monuments dedicated to important figures from Malaga's history including the statue and theatre in honour of Eduardo Ocón. Live performances are put on for free during spring and in summer. On the other side of the avenue there's the old gardener's house (now a Tourist Office) as well as the Bank of Spain, the Palacio de la Aduana (Customs House) and the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall).

Jardín Botánico La Concepción

A beautiful, landscaped garden, La Concepción is home to thousands of different plants, a plethora of birds and a wealth of cultural interests. The botanical garden sustains one of Spain's most diverse collections of palm trees and other subtropical species, as well as numerous exotic plants, arranged thematically across 23 hectares (57 acres). At its core lies a spectacular, historic garden of neoclassical design. Expanded over the years by its owners, the historical garden is replete with intriguing elements of landscape design, riddled with streams and babbling fountains in between greenhouses, waterfalls, and bridges. Interwoven seamlessly into the landscape are a number of architectural gems as well, such as the San Telmo aqueduct, La Casa Palacio, and the Loringian Museum. It opened to the public in June 1994 and is a special place that enchants with its myriad charms.

Parque Senda El Retiro

This is a historic botanical garden that dates back to the 16th century, and situated in the outskirts of the city. Primarily it is a French-styled garden, and combines Italian, English and Arabic styles. The garden is huge, and has been divided into three sections i.e. garden orchard, garden patio and garden courtier. The garden has varied vegetation, and a large collection of exotic birds, mammals, butterflies, fish and reptiles brought from different parts of the world. The major highlight of the garden is the line of cypress trees that is believed to be more than 200 years old. Apart from its natural beauty, the garden offers breathtaking views of the coast on one side, and mountains and countryside on the other.
