Parque de la Paloma

It was a bit of a long walk up to the gardens, sometimes with no pavement bit we'll worth it. For only 3 euros you get to explore these lovely gardens. I loved the Japanese garden and watching the terrapins? Swimming or just sunbathing together, it was so relaxing. The trees are mostly labelled with details of their type and origin and there are trees from across the world. It's nice and shady and there are Mirador viewpoints around the garden. There is a circular type of maze with beautiful ceramic benches and fountains featuring frogs. There are large cages of owls and other birds dotted around the upper half of the gardens. There are lovely fountains too and it's all very photogenic. It is hilly and there are lots of slopes and some steps to negotiate. So not ideal for people who have walking difficulties. There is an exhibition about different types of milling, with working models and signs in Spanish. There is no cafe just a vending machine for cold drinks and snacks. There are toilets near the entrance. I spent a very nice two hours there and would recommend it.
