Málaga's gorgeous botanical gardens are located in the surrounding suburban neighbourhood of "La Concepción," just a 15-minute bus journey from the city centre, if you feel like spending the afternoon outside of the city. The mid-19th century gardens have animals and flora, trees from five different continents, over 49 hectares of tropical forest, and 23 hectares of botanical gardens.

The gardens come alive in the spring, the ideal time to visit, with the hues and aromas of all these exotic plants in bloom, giving you every reason to think you are in a far-off, tropical location rather than on the outskirts of one of the most populated cities in Europe.

The garden's collection of palm trees, some of which are over a century old, as well as a 400-year-old olive tree, stand out in particular. Stroll around the Botanical Gardens of La Concepcion, and take in the lush greenery, along with knowing about the history of the gardens.
