Alameda´s Park

Alameda Park is Marbella’s signature garden, laid out in the 18th century between the Old Town and the Mediterranean. Meandering paths thread under century-old ficus trees, jacarandas and palms that keep the park cool even on midsummer days. A 19th-century marble fountain forms the centerpiece, while hand-painted Andalusian tile benches depict local scenes.\n\nThe park suits families looking for shade, photographers chasing soft Andalusian light and anyone who needs a breather before strolling down Avenida del Mar to the sea. Mornings are serene for reading or sipping coffee; by sunset the space fills with couples and buskers. In December, festive lights turn the Alameda into a sparkling promenade. Marbella´s fair, food markets and children activities are often held in the Alameda´s park.
