Address: Av. Federico García Lorca, s/n, 29630 Benalmádena, Málaga
Parque de la Paloma, Benalmádena is where nature meets local life on the Costa del Sol. Just a short stroll from the beach and the bustling Arroyo de la Miel area, this 200,000 m² urban park is a lush escape full of surprises—from a sparkling lake to free-roaming rabbits, chickens, and peacocks. Yes, it’s basically a chill animal safari with palm trees.
What makes it extra special? The mix of beautifully landscaped gardens, cactus and succulent collections, two playgrounds, and even a small zoo. It’s the kind of place where you can sip a café con leche in the sun while turtles bask nearby. Whether you’re here for a lazy afternoon or a scenic run, Parque de la Paloma offers a slice of calm with a side of charm—no hiking boots required.
This park is part of our Best Parks in Marbella and Andalucía and Best Parks for Kids in Marbella and along the Costa del Sol Guides!
