Málaga Park

1 Paseo del Parque, Málaga, Andalucía

Description

Malaga Park or 'Parque de la Alameda' is an urban Mediterranean garden with tropical and subtropical species located on the south-eastern edge of Málaga's historical centre, close to both the port and Malagueta beach. It was designed at the end of the 19th century and built on reclaimed land. Besides the trees, plants, alleyways and fountains, there are various sculptures and monuments to important local and cultural figures such as Rubén Darío, Salvador Rueda or Antonio Muñoz Degrain.

Access & Transport

The park is a continuation of the Alameda Principal and separates the historical district from La Malagueta. There are various bus stops along Padeo del Parque and it is a short walk from many of the city's cultural attractions (Cathedral and museums).

Instructions & Recommendations

Best visited on the way to/from the port, Malagueta beach or the Castillo de Gibralfaro.

Meta review

This is the best known green space in the city and online reviews are good without being exceptional. The main issue is that it is very narrow, sandwiched between two major roads which means traffic noise can be heard. That being said, visitors enjoy it very much for a bit of casual relaxing time and a shelter from the summer sun and heat. Some positive comments about the various sculptures and flora.

Environmental & Social

A green attraction. Positive for the community as green spaces make for a better living environment

Conclusion

Pleasant urban park with an enjoyable variety of plants, trees and sculptures. And some shade!
