About
Quick facts: A leafy oasis offers winding paths, towering palms and sculpted flowerbeds that shift color across the seasons. You'll spot a vintage bandstand and scattered sculptures, creating a lived-in vibe where joggers, chess players and families mingle.
Highlights: A floral clock near the central fountain uses roughly 2,000 seasonal plants arranged in concentric patterns, the minute hand sweeping over bright petals that change with each planting. You'll often catch a municipal brass band of about 25 players on weekend afternoons, their warm, brassy sound blending with the scent of jasmine after a summer rain.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, many paths are paved but include gentle slopes.
- Photograph the floral clock and central fountain at golden hour for the best light.
- Visit on weekdays or early mornings to avoid lunchtime crowds around the bandstand.
- Pick up snacks or coffee on nearby Calle del Castillo before you enter for better value than park kiosks.
