Address: 29679 Benahavís, Málaga
Hidden in the lush hills of Benahavís, Parque Torre Leonera feels like a mini time-travel portal. Centered around a restored 11th-century watchtower—one of three built by the Moors to protect the Montemayor fortress—this park blends history and serenity in the best way possible. You’ll find peaceful gardens, a small lake, and open-air ruins that whisper stories from Al-Andalus to the French invasion.
It’s right in the village center, surrounded by top-notch restaurants and dramatic mountain views, making it the perfect detour after lunch or a hike. From medieval military strategy to romantic Andalusian legends, the whole area is steeped in cultural layers—yet the vibe here is laid-back, local, and ideal for a quiet reset away from the coast.
