Collection of palms and conifers plus an heirloom in the Botanical Garden 📷 Málaga - Spain

---

Finding avenues that come and go in the middle of nature is a marvel and even more so if it is accompanied by finding treasures from other eras.

---

---

On this visit I made to the city's Botanical Garden, I decided to explore some very particular areas of the map, which, as I have said on other occasions, is very well signposted.

This area is called the palm collection and very close by there is also a specific place for conifers, although there are always a variety of flowers and a very varied natural environment.

---

---

For this reason, after entering, I headed straight for the stairs that would take me there. First I came across very narrow paths with a lot of vegetation. It always seems to me to be in a jungle with the most varied species.

---

---

After walking for a few minutes I could see a road that divided in two, like a big avenue with a roundabout in the middle, only that the roundabout extended very far along the path.

---

---

Trees of intense shade with dry leaves underneath, but then I could already see the large place dedicated to palms and conifers in their most varied forms.

The whole place was made up of wide paths, stairs and many flower beds of various sizes displaying the huge collection of palms.

On the tour I could also find all kinds of details about the types of palms, the country they come from and other details on various posters. There were also details of the flowers, bushes and other vegetation of the place.

---

---

The avenue along which you can walk and see this beauty is enormous and the flower beds containing the palms are very well maintained and decorated with colourful flowers of many colours.

---

---

Walking along this place and trying to look at the completion in the distance makes it feel so huge and endless that it coincides with the desire to linger for a long time in the midst of nature.

---

---

Amongst these palm tree beds there were also paths that were dirt roads so you could walk in a natural environment amongst the trees and the green of the plants.

---

---

I then took a more rustic path, where the green of the vegetation became lighter and brighter in the sunlight. I felt like I was in a fairy tale or some magical fairy tale.

The trees glistened and the sun's rays made them look beautiful.

---

---

This path led me to a rest area where there was seating and a signposted area where you could eat.

---

---

After resting for a while I resumed my walk and a small staircase led me to another avenue, but not before passing through a lot of beautiful vegetation.

It seemed like I was going back, but on a different path, one that had many more signs and comments on signs about plants and flowers.

---

---

Being in the midst of so much nature makes you see the beauty of the world and is healing not only for the body but also for the soul.

The trees intertwined with each other in their canopies, producing a great spectacle.

This path also had benches to sit on and most of them were located in shady areas.

---

---

Near one of these benches there was a sign telling me about a very old construction.

The San Telmo aqueduct, a construction dating back to the 18th century, a great work that took water from the local mountains and through the descending terrain carried it to different places for more than 10 kilometres.

This is across several bridges and there are more aqueducts like this one. I got as close as I could to get a closer look.

This part supplied water to this whole area and the nearby fields and farms, and was for farming purposes, long before the botanical garden existed.

---

---

After crossing this area, I came across a lot of flowers, uphill and downhill terrain, dirt roads, until I reached the paved avenue of some sort again.

---

---

I came across some more rest areas, after passing through several paths, many with decorative railings and I think also for safety.

---

---

And this route and part of the map ends with an incredible view that I found among several plants, towards the mountains of the city, called the Montes de Malaga which is a nature reserve.

Thank you very much to all of you for joining me, I send you a big greeting and see you next time.

Amonet.
