Llamas Park, Urban park in Santander, Spain
The Llamas Park extends over 11 hectares, featuring a central lagoon surrounded by wooden walkways, cycling paths, and recreational areas within the city limits.
Before its transformation into a park in 2007, this area served as a wetland where a pottery factory extracted peat during the 19th century.
The park functions as a botanical garden representing global flora from Antarctica to the North Pole, with 54 percent of trees being native species.
The park includes three parking areas, a 2.5-kilometer bicycle lane, playgrounds, cafes, drinking fountains, and an amphitheater for public events.
The central lagoon contains a 45,000-square-meter reed bed that attracts numerous migratory birds, making it an urban wildlife observation point.
