Large, beautiful park in Marbella. It runs along a huge boulevard (Avda. Ramón y Cajal), is near a…read moretourism office, and abuts the boundary of the old town, so it is hard to miss. Alameda (sometimes written Alhameda) has a very late-19thC/early-20thC look to it. There are botanical gardens in the park (another mania of the era mentioned). This made sense when I read the history of the park, which dates to the 18thC, but had a major rehaul in the late 19thC, to give it its present look. During the reno, they got rid of former attractions, like a pond, a niche for the Christ of the Alameda, and the Cross of the Mentidero. The foliage in this park is really lush, with a lot of banana palms, rubber plants, Ficus Pandurata, and sandy pines. Tons of places to sit and people-watch. There are gorgeous tiled areas in the squares formed within the grid of the park, and then sandy-gravely walking paths to ramble from point to point. Many benches are concrete forms, clad in hand-painted tiles, in an Andalusian style. The Fuente Virgen del Rocio, shown in my photo, is in the center of the park, and is the pièce de résistance, however, I thought watching people go by, particularly school groups of Spanish kids touring, was the most fun. There are a bunch of cafes surrounding the park, many were extremely cheesy and touristy, but some had a lot of Spanish locals eating there, and appeared to be good for authentic tapas.

Everyone at Bike 2 Malaga was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful - we worked with both Vladimir and Stefan. While we had our own bikes, B2M was stocked with e-bikes, road, mountain, and gravel bikes for rental. They also offer guided rides, casual tours, and repairs. Not stocked with all the latest bling, jerseys, gadgets, but that isn't what they're shooting for. Highly recommend these guys.
