We’re card-carrying members of the Botanical Gardens Lovers Club (not an actual club), and the green grandeur of the verdant capital of Málaga is predictably wonderful. The gardens were put together in 1855 by a newly-married couple looking to make use of their wealth, but the public didn’t gain access to the gardens until 1994. The gardens is clearly set out with flora from all over the world on show — the ‘Around the World in 80 Trees’ is particularly thrilling. Get the 2 or 91 bus to the gardens, and be sure to get a map with your ticket.
