★★★★★4 years agoFantastic place for an afternoons dog walking very picturesque and good photo opportunities would recommend. But be careful of irresponsible dog owners who for some reason seem to be more interested in their mobile phones than their dogs
Asia Szpadkiewicz
★★★★★a year agoVery nice park on a hill with a view of the panorama of Malaga. You can see how Malagasy live outside the center. Many people with dogs, a convenient place for a picnic. I do like it!
