In Torremolinos we can find green areas if we are fond of nature and enjoy trekking routes surrounded by the autochthonous fauna and flora of the area.
Next to the municipal garden centre, it’s the area where the original sources of Torremolinos are located. The building of this botanical garden was built in 1488 and was visited by the Catholic Kings. The king Alfonso the 13th and the Queen Eugenia drank water from the spring fountain in the mill.
Today it is restored and is open to all visitors. The garden has a great botanical value and has a great amount of different species, amongst these species there are a few centenary specimen and a wild olive of about 1000 years old.
We recommend a visit to this botanical garden if you visit Torremolinos.
This park is recent and is situated in the northern part of Montemar. The reason for its name is because there used to be defensive battery here.
The park has paths and a large artificial lake of natural water of the area, the lake has boats that can be rented out in the park. The old defensive infrastructure of the civil war has been rehabilitated, so the old military emplacements can be visited. In the southern extreme of the park there is a viewpoint tower with a lift and stairs from where we can see a beautiful view of Torremolinos.
In the Pinares area in Toremolinos there is a 6 kilometre trekking route where we’ll be able to spot autochthonous birds, holm oaks, carob trees and the relaxing sound of nature.

Blue trekking route
One of the busiest trekking routes begins in the Pinares area where the picnic area is. From there we must advance through the olives until the tunnel of the Mediterranean motorway. Following the dirt track we’ll reach near the Cave of the Bull, then we’ll come to the Cañuelo port and following the route by the side of the stream we go up the path until reaching the Cañuelo port. The route ends in the Cortijo del Sol Urbanisation in Alhaurin de la Torre.
Red trekking route
This route starts at the Canuto port, where we’ll get to by following the previous route. From there and heading east we head up a path that is not well defined, and we’ll arrive at a place with a perfect view over the bay of Malaga.
