Exploring Malaga Park

">Written by Karen BryanWelcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Malaga Park (Parque de Malaga) was constructed in the late 19th century and given a major facelift in 2007. The park runs parallel to Malaga Port and is almost one kilometre in length, stretching from Plaza de la Marina to Plaza del General Torrijos.  The park contains plants from every continent. There’s a shady walkway at either side of the park, with plenty of shrubs, fountains and quiet corners along the central strip. If you’re walking from the old town to Malagueta Beach this is the most scenic (and coolest) route.

Although not officially part of Malaga Park, the Pedro Luis Alonso Gardens are just across the street from Malaga Park, close to City Hall.

I loved walking around Malaga Park and it’s one of my top three Malaga attractions; the others being Malagueta Beach and the Alcazaba Moorish fort.

I think that Malaga is a fantastic short break destination, served by several low cost airlines and offering a good selection of hotels for all budgets.
