The garden was the meeting place of Marquis, politicians, aristocrats and nobles of the time that came here to enjoy nature and to share a good time. Over the years, they built beautiful noble buildings we can visit today as the Casa Palacio, Casa del Administrador or Casa de los Cipreses and a large number of sources and Roman sculptures scattered around the park. It is always a good idea to hire the guided tours where they will tell you stories, details and anecdotes of the park and its founders.

 

During every Wednesday, in July and August, the park offers dramatized nocturnal visits that are a real spectacle, don’t miss it. The night lighting on the trees transforms this garden into a magical place. Through characters dressed in clothing costumes of the period, you will be transported to the Málaga of the nineteenth century; this is definitely a recommended visit.
