Alameda del Tajo: history, facts and how to visit

19th-century tree-lined promenade with panoramic views over the Serranía.

History and what to see

Formerly called Alameda de San Carlos, this 19th-century promenade sits next to the Bullring, right on the edge of the Tajo gorge's rim. Five parallel avenues, full of varied plant species, lead to a balcony literally overlooking the abyss. Among its trees are several two-hundred-year-old specimens listed in the guide to notable trees of the province of Málaga, such as a Himalayan cedar and a huge stone pine. The promenade continues north along the rim, along the so-called "English promenade".
