Traveler reviews
Handmade heaven
★★★★★a month agoBeautiful garden in the town centre of Malaga, next to the Cathedral. Lots of green spaces, with benches, fountain, flowers, birds, really relaxing, and it is free!
Paul Petyt
★★★★★a year agoA peaceful courtyard beside the cathedral, filled with orange trees and historic charm. A quiet spot to rest in the shade while taking in the beauty of the surrounding architecture. Great for a short break during your walk through the old town.
