About
Quick facts: Covering 87 hectares, this sprawling park sits right next to the historic center of town. Over 1,500 trees line its walking paths, creating a green corridor that locals have used for weekend strolls since the 1970s.
Highlights: A hidden amphitheater carved into the hillside hosts open-air cinema screenings on summer nights, with the audience sprawled across the grass under strings of warm lights. The park also shelters an old stone water trough, a remnant of the cattle routes that once crisscrossed this land centuries ago.
Insider tips
- Enter from the Avenida de la Dehesa side to find the oldest, shadiest trees first.
- Bring binoculars in spring migration season (March-May) to spot hoopoes and woodpeckers.
- The amphitheater is unmarked, look for a stone staircase descending near the central meadow.
- Skip weekend afternoons if you want quiet; weekday mornings see almost no one.
