Worth a visit on a hot day to enjoy the cool green shade and occasional sprinklers which may catch you by surprise as they water the plants. Nice views, easy walking and plenty to interest the gardener. The cafeteria provides a very nice lunch with excellent carrot cake. The owner/chef even generously provided the recipe for the carrot cake. We... More

My partner loves his garden in England and a visit to the Botanical gardens is a must. The aromas and smells of the flowers is delightful. You can see a lot of hard work by the gardeners has gone into making the gardens so pretty. It is so easy to walk around, a very pleasurable visit and we will visit... More

The historic and thematic jardin botanico is worth a visit of at least half a day. On tuesday entrance is free from ca. 15:00 on. Summer closing time is 20:30. Great views on Malaga and the Mediteranean (?) from different miradores. Cafeteria near the entrance. Try their carrot cake! Picknick is allowed in the beautiful exotic gardens (viewpoints). Toilets (free... More

This was like Kew Garden's greenhouses, but outside! We had a really lovely visit, we went around the inner gardens first (as shown on the map) and then stopped at the cafe for a break, which was nice and good value. We then walked around the outer edge which took about 40 minutes (called the forest route, but it's not... More

Tourist information told me it was impossible to go there by bicicle as the big park is situated next to the motorway on the north side of town. But my super bikerental Bike Tours & Rentals Malaga pointed out it was perfectly doable and it was. Park is beautifully laid out, lots of theme gardens, jungle forests and water works.... More

Fantastic old mature gardens. Lovely walk through and lots of water features. Nice visit on a hot summers day with welcome shade. I cant remember exactly how much it costs to enter but it represented good value. They now have a nice little cafe inside where you can get refreshments and lovely baguettes at fair prices. More
