Meta review

This is a popular place for residents and tourist alike due to the variety of its plants and trees although, for the purist, it may fall a little short as a botanic garden. The main recurring negative comment is the noise from the expressway that runs past it - not much management can do about it unfortunately.

Environmental & Social

The green spaces require some watering but otherwise the park is quite neutral from an environmental standpoint and a positive for local residents

Conclusion

Essentially a park with a great diversity of trees and plants that makes for a well-deserved break from the city - shame about the motorway alongside it. Nothing spectacular and painful to get to without a car but worth discovering for anybody with more than 3 days in Malaga.

Key positive

Great variety of flora

Key negative

Traffic from highway

Time consuming to get there by public transport

Suitability

Family friendly and accessible for visitors with reduced mobility
