Parque Genovés

Parque Genovés is a historical garden located in the seaside of Cádiz city in Andalusia, Spain. Its origin can be traced back to the middle of the 19th century, having been widened and remodeled a few times since then.

By the name Genovés, it could be thought that the park is of Genovese style, but it actually owes its name to a former city major called Eduardo José Genovés y Puig, who made important reforms to it.

The garden has a great number of plant species, including some which thrive properly in tropical latitudes, being it possible due to the high humidity of the city combined with the mild temperatures that characterize the Mediterranean climate. A group of them have drawn special interest, either for its longevity or big size.
