Traveler reviews
Dalila Carmo
★★★★★6 months agoThe giant tree in Jardines Picasso is truly breathtaking. Its massive trunk and roots look like a living piece of art. Just standing in its shade feels peaceful. A special natural highlight worth seeing🌿
Kathrin Bentley
★★★★★3 months agoIt was lovely walking through this beautiful park and learn about its history as well as about its plants. We got an Ueber from Malaga which was super cheap and easy. Highly recommend this park for a quieter time in the Malaga region!
