The Genovés Park is one of Cádiz’s most distinctive green spaces, a 19th-century botanical garden overlooking the Atlantic. Its romantic-style gardens combine carefully shaped cypress trees, exotic specimens from around the world, shaded paths and an ornamental pond with a waterfall and grotto.
There is plenty to discover as you wander through the gardens, from the remarkable dragon tree to the unusual, thorn-covered trunk of the Palo Borracho. The park is also recognised as an Asset of Cultural Interest by the Junta de Andalucía and forms part of Andalusia’s protected historic heritage.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
