Filled with native Andalusian greenery, marble walkways, beautiful ceramic benches and the gushing Virgen del Rocio fountain, Alameda Park is a refreshing place to meander while enjoying some shade. You can also take a horse-drawn carriage through the small park. And for further refreshment, there are a collection of bars and restaurants that line the serene green space. 

Recent visitors described Alameda Park as an oasis in the center of a bustling city. Although travelers admit that you can walk the park's length in about five minutes, it's nonetheless a great excursion – and the cool benches offer a refreshing respite from the heat.

You'll find Alameda Park near Marbella's main thoroughfare Avenida Ricardo Soriano, otherwise known as the N-340. It's also a short walk from Old Quarter and the seaside via Avenida del Mar. Access to the park is free.
