Parque Arroyo de la Represa, Marbella

You´ll find the fascinating Museo del Bonsai in this spacious park that´s been enlarged twice in the past 20 years to include two full-size football pitches and athletics tracks surrounded by green areas. There are lots of trees and little landscaped areas where you can take pleasant walks in the evening and sit to chat peaceably on the wooden benches. It has an artificial lake which is fed by little streams running between the rock beds. It's open all day.
