El Ángel

The El Ángel Botanical Garden is a 15,000 m² green space in the Colonia de El Ángel, in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella. It keeps the layout of an original 19th-century garden, with large mature trees. It is organised into three areas: the romantic garden, with clay paving, straight-line flowerbeds and rounded hedges; the cruciform garden, added in the late 1990s above the El Ángel church, with orange and cypress trees surrounded by hedges and symmetrical flowerbeds converging on a central square; and the tropical garden, in landscape style with winding paths of coloured concrete, three artificial lakes with waterfalls and a collection of 80 species of palms. Among the species, large specimens of Ficus Microcarpa and Phoenix Canariensis stand out.
