Things to Do

La Concepción Botanical Gardens

A lush 19th-century tropical garden just north of the city.

One of Europe’s finest collections of tropical and subtropical plants, planted in the 1850s by a Málaga marquess. Wisteria pergolas, giant ficus, waterfalls and a romantic glasshouse make this a serene escape from the centre — and a local favourite that most visitors never reach.
