Parque de la Paloma – Benalmadena (1)

01.jpg

‘Parque de la Paloma’ translates to ‘Park of the Dove’, or ‘Park of the Pigeon’ in English, depending on who you ask. It is touted as “one of the largest and most desirable parks in Europe.”

I called it the ‘Park with a Difference’ What is so different about the Park? It’s the park’s residents. Apart from the pigeons and doves, there are some very unusual residents in the park. Check back tomorrow for the continuation of the post, and you will find out more about the residents in the park – something which you would not normally see in a park. Meanwhile, enjoy the first installation of the my post on the Park.

Where the park gets its name from - pigeons and doves.

The Cactus garden is awesome. I think it has to be the park's main attraction - for me anyway.

While most of the Jacarandas in Benalmadena are past their prime, this young Jacaranda is in full bloom.
