Within the urban area of ​​the city of Málaga there are different green areas. The best known is the Parque de Málaga, which extends along a pleasant walk that goes from the Plaza del General Torrijos to the Plaza de la Marina. It was projected at the end of the 19th century and boasts, in addition to different monuments, fountains and the Eduardo Ocón Auditorium, numerous and diverse tropical and subtropical botanical species. Directly across from this park, on Cervantes Avenue and at the foot of the Alcazaba, are the Gardens of Puerta Oscura, where you can see jacarandas, cypresses and other botanical species. In the same area, next to the Town Hall, are the Gardens of Pedro Luís Alonso, a typical 19th century public garden. Last but not least on the Avenue of Andalusia is another of the green lungs of the city: the Gardens of Picasso, which were inaugurated in 1981 as a centennial memory of the great artist from Malaga. Among its centenary ficus’, tropical plants and jacarandas, various modern sculptures can also be found.
