The first time I was in this place was one of the most beautiful experiences, I was accompanied by my mother and she was fascinated. We had never seen anything like it.
The amount of variety of species from all over the world, the climate in the interior almost jungle-like, humid, which makes the paths full of moss.
The trees are gigantic, palms, shrubs, all on a grand scale. Beauty of flowers in a perfect environment to make them look beautiful.
The whole place is wonderful, 29 hectares of fascinating nature, from small waterfalls, lakes, vegetation, trails and more trails.
In this opportunity I will highlight the panoramic views, both from the different viewpoints that appear along the paths, as well as from the lower part. It really seemed to me to be in a jungle, rather than in a forest.
In the city where I was born there were squares and parks, but nothing like this marvel. I looked at the sky and it was difficult to see it because of the number and height of the different species of trees.
When I climbed up the viewpoints I had the opportunity to get close to the top of them and admire the distant views of the mountains of Malaga, which is a nature reserve. Much further away you can see the city.
One of the many viewpoints in the garden leads us to a myriad of cactus varieties, but if we turn our gaze around we have an overview of much of this natural beauty.
We can find everything from trees that embrace each other forming an arch with a beautiful shade that barely lets the sun's rays through, to citrus and other fruit trees.
It is nature growing endlessly everywhere you look, plus the added colour of the beautiful flowers and shrubs.
One of the panoramic views I liked the most is that of a lake that is surrounded by pine trees, the calmness of the water and the reflections on it give an atmosphere of peace and harmony.
Silence, tranquillity, pure air and green in all its nuances that fill the view with life.
My eyes marvelled at every step I took, discovering more and more species. As I said, I was accompanied by my mother, who is now almost 70 years old, loves nature and is immensely happy with the natural world. Being surrounded by plants fascinates her.
In the steepest areas I helped her to climb, because she wanted to see everything. Of course, on that occasion we were not able to walk the whole length of the garden, but I saw her very happy and that filled my soul.
Why do I mention my mother?
Because when we left the garden and were on our way back, she said to me: "We have just left paradise". And we really felt that this place was paradise.
I know it is not the same to be in a place than to see it in pictures, but I hope you can feel that magic when you see these postcards.
A big hello to all of you, thank you very much for watching and reading this far. See you next time.
Amonet.
