The prodigious building efforts that have turned Torremolinos
into a highly urbanised area are offset by the recent emergence
of numerous public gardens.
More than one thousand species of trees have been planted in the
town, ranging from the exotic magnolia and banana tree, to vibrantly
colourful beds of roses and azaleas.
On the outskirts of the town there are three forests with freshwater
springs and barbecue facilities and highly recommended for those
seeking a little reprieve from the bucket and spade scenario on
the coast.
