Alicante’s green spaces range from the historic 19th-century Parque de Canalejas, known for its massive ficus trees, to the innovative Parque La Marjal, Spain's first floodable urban park. This collection includes the palm-shaded Explanada de España, the terraced Mediterranean slopes of Parque La Ereta on Mount Benacantil, and the romantic 19th-century gardens of Panteón de Quijano.
