Jardín Botánico La Concepción
Jardín Botánico La Concepción, Subtropical botanical garden in Málaga, Spain.
Description
Jardín Botánico La Concepción is a subtropical botanical garden in Málaga that displays plant species from tropical regions arranged across landscaped sections and walking paths. The grounds feature both open areas with individual specimens and enclosed structures designed to maintain specific growing conditions for sensitive plants.
History
The garden was founded in 1855 by the Marquis of Casa Loring as part of a private estate dedicated to collecting exotic plants from distant regions. The Echevarría-Echevarrieta family later took over and continued developing the collections and structures over several decades.
Culture
The collection of tropical and subtropical plants reflects the trading networks of the 1800s, showing how wealthy Europeans brought distant lands into their own gardens. Walking through these green spaces today, you can sense how fascinated people once were by the natural world beyond Europe.
Practical
Plan to spend a few hours walking through the different planted sections, and wear comfortable shoes since the paths between plant areas can be uneven. The location sits outside the city center, so arriving by car or public transit is more practical than walking from downtown.
Did you know?
The estate contains the Loringiano Museum, which displays archaeological finds from local excavations and was built in classical style with columns and stone details. This blend of plants and history means visitors encounter more than just greenery during their walk.
