Parque del Amor (Love Park) - Miraflores

Informazioni

Fatti rapidi: A riot of colorful mosaics and winding benches invites couples to linger and drink in sweeping ocean views, while a dramatic bronze sculpture draws daily photographs and stolen kisses. Visitors time their arrival for sunset to capture golden light against heart-shaped tiles, making the spot a surprisingly popular backdrop for proposals and portraits.

Punti salienti: A winding mosaic bench in bright red, yellow and cobalt blue tiles curls along the cliff edge in a Gaudí-style trencadís pattern, where you lean over the low wall to smell the salty spray and hear the gulls and waves crash on the rocks below. At the terrace center a larger-than-life bronze-and-concrete sculpture called 'El Beso' by Victor Delfín watches over couples, and every Valentine’s Day hundreds of locals turn up to kiss under the statue in a rowdy, camera-filled tradition.

Consigli da insider

• Wear a windproof jacket, the cliffside breeze can be cool even on sunny days.
• Pose at the base of the red 'El Beso' sculpture for classic photos, and use the mosaic benches for colorful wide-angle shots.
• Arrive 20-30 minutes before sunset to claim a spot on the seawall, or visit at sunrise for a peaceful experience with fewer people.
• Keep valuables zipped and close, pickpockets can operate in crowded areas during peak times.
