Málaga Park

Málaga Park, also called Parque de la Alameda or El Parque, is a public garden between Málaga’s historic centre and port. Its shaded paths pass palms and subtropical plants from different parts of the world, with fountains, sculptures, benches and a rose garden near the City Council building. Stop for a quiet walk, look for the plant labels, or let children use the playground. The park’s central location makes it an easy place to pause while walking between the old town and Muelle Uno.

A garden between the old town and port

Málaga Park, also known as Parque de la Alameda or El Parque, runs alongside the port between the city centre and the waterfront. The garden was intended for public use from the start and is more than a century old. It was laid out on land reclaimed from the sea at the end of the 19th century.

Its position makes it a useful pause on a walk between the historic centre and Muelle Uno. The garden’s paths offer shade and benches, while fountains and sculptures add points of interest along the way.

Plants, fountains and a rose garden

The park is planted with palms and tropical and subtropical species from different origins. Labels identify some of the plants, so you can turn a short stroll into a closer look at the garden. Fountains and sculptures are dotted through the paths, and the rose garden near the City Council building is framed by orange and cypress trees.

Families can use the playground, while the outdoor stage hosts performances. For a break, bring food to eat in the garden or find a bench in the shade. The park is open around the clock.
