Murillo Pontual
★★★★★10 months agoJardines de Murillo is a beautiful garden located next to the Real Alcázar. The grounds are well maintained, entrance is free, and visitors can enjoy a wide variety of trees and greenery. It’s a peaceful spot to relax and definitely worth a visit.
Jamie O'Donnell
★★★★★a year agoAn excellent urban park. Both shaded and sunny, well-maintained paths for strolling suitable for wheeled travelers (strollers and wheelchair users). Stately trees - palms, Ficus and others. Lots of songbirds. A play area for children and lots of benches for resting, relaxing, and chatting. Worth a visit as part of a tour of the area around the Alcazar. March 30, 2025 C & J
