★★★★★3 years agoBeautiful and well-maintained public park that's rising above the city of Malaga. There are playgrounds for sports and one for kids. Not many people during the siesta except for the odd dog owner. Still plenty of places to sit in the shade or in the sun.

★★★★★a year agoGreat park! I go jogging when I can. It has shades and benches. Additionally there is a local cafe where you can drink a beer in the evening. And from the view point the scenery towards the mountains is magnificent! :)
