Royal Botanical Garden of Cordoba, Botanical garden by Guadalquivir River, Cordoba, Spain.
The Royal Botanical Garden of Córdoba lies along the Guadalquivir River and spreads across several sections with different plant collections. The grounds feature Mediterranean vegetation, rose gardens, specialized learning areas, and restored water mills from earlier centuries.
The garden was founded in 1987 and transformed a former farming area into an educational center of regional importance. This conversion also preserved historical water mills that once stood along the river.
The Museum of Ethnobotany shows how people use plants in daily life, displaying traditional knowledge that is still practiced in the region today. Visitors can see how textiles were dyed and how locals worked with native plants.
The garden is open on most days, with hours varying by season. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are explored on foot and offer both shaded areas and open spaces.
The grounds house a remarkable collection of plant species from the Canary Islands, arranged in separate climate zones. This specialized section showcases island flora diversity with species like geraniums, cacti, and rare ferns.
