Parque de Las Canteras, Urban park in Puerto Real, Spain.

The extensive park contains walking trails that wind through abundant pine trees, Mediterranean shrubs, and local orchid species across 25 hectares of green space.

During the 16th century, the site functioned as a quarry for extracting stone used in numerous local buildings and the Cathedral of Seville.

The central section of the park features an altar dedicated to the Virgin of Lourdes, the patron saint of Puerto Real.

Visitors can access different sections of the park through interconnected courtyards, including Patio del Pozo, Patio Negro, and Patio Alto.

The park represents a successful transformation from an abandoned quarry into an artificial Mediterranean forest with native vegetation.
