This is a subtropical botanical garden located at the northern entrance of Málaga. It contains approximately 50,000 plants across 2,000 species, including a wide variety of palms and bamboo. Travelers visit this site to walk through a curated collection of flora that is uncommon in European climates, set within a landscape with over 150 years of history.
