From Marbella to Jardín Botánico Málaga
Nature is part of all our days, and we can find it driving towards work, in our home, or in the place you least expect it; You need to observe. Currently, environmental pollution is much stronger than before, doing significant damage to the planet. Still, if you wish for an excellent day with the family to learn from all kinds of plants, trees, or flowers, the Jardin Botanico-Historico La Concepcion is the place to go.
More than a botanical garden, it is a natural Eden where there are hundreds of different plants, trees, and flowers. This garden has more than a century and a half of history, founded by a high-class family and bought by the municipality of Malaga to be a natural museum. Many visitors have given the reference that it is another world within the city of Malaga, and no one should miss this opportunity.
That the name does not fool you, because it has 3.5 Hectares with more than 1,000 different species of plants from all continents, but the entire estate has 25 Hectares with more than 3,000 species of plants. If you are planning a family visit, you should bring water, comfortable shoes and fresh clothes. The tropical environment can be a bit hot, and the walk a little longer.
Among all the activities and attractions, we can recommend going to the around the world in 80 trees route, the world map of palm trees, and the viewpoint of Malaga to take the best photos of the city.
With an innovative idea, Andino Gastrobar is the option we have chosen because it will make you travel throughout Latin America with each dish. This restaurant specializes in Latin food and fusions with Spanish cuisine, providing a comfortable space indoors or outdoors in the city of Malaga.
In the Botanical Garden, you can travel the world, seeing the plants of each continent.
However, in Andino Gastrobar, you have to choose the dish of the country you want to visit without leaving the City. You can travel through Venezuela, Chile, Peru, or Mexico without any limit, but if you do not usually eat meat, there is also a vegetarian menu with the same quality.
If you wish to have lunch in these restaurants, we recommend you go from Friday to Sunday, because their weekdays from Monday to Thursday are from 6 pm to 11 pm. However, a romantic dinner after being in the Botanical Garden is also a plan that we recommend.
The route can take a little more than an hour, but it is worth traveling along the AP-7 highway and see how the landscape changes until you reach Torremolinos, or get to know Cruz de Humilladero a little. Do not be afraid to make unexpected stops, because the best thing is what is not on the itinerary.
We recommend that you drive within the speed limits and save cash because there are tolls and speed sensors on this route. An excellent day should end without fines and awkward situations.
