Oh my freaking wow the fig trees are out of this century, or the century before but the century before that even. Hundred plus years old and give out seriously vibey vibes. For the fig trees alone this garden/park was a winner for me. It's a beautiful place all round with plenty of sitting spaces, amazing architecture and an abundance of nature. It ticked all the boxes of what a city green space should provide. An oasis of tranquility in a bustling city.

Lovely gardens on the way to the main event Plaza De Espana, but definitely worth walking through. Some beautiful ceramics amongst the paths and gardens. We stopped at a bar in the gardens which was lovely. Lots of locals sitting around chatting and cooling down. There is a metro station next to it which is handy, San Sebastian. We sat for an hour before moving onto the plaza.

It’s an enhancing area to walk around. With grand pathways and lots of flora. Much seating is also to be availed off, to stop off for a relaxing while. Great monuments are here, including the superb Grand Fuente De Catalina De Ribera and Christopher Columbus Monument. On one side the turreted wall and a gate of the Alcazar impressively loom.
