Where you are standing now

Turn right at the church and you'll come to the recently-created Jardín Andalusí, or Andalucian Water Garden. Is there a more tranquil setting in which to relax? Sit yourself down on the shaded stone bench and listen to water trickling by as you watch the flowers moving in the breeze. The garden's design reveals a strong Moorish influence and it bears a striking resemblance to the water garden found in the grounds of the famous Alhambra Palace in Granada. In Winter the Jardín Andalusí is open to the public from 10am-2pm and 5-8pm (Mon-Fri); 10am-2pm (Sat and Sun). In Summer it's open from 10am-2pm and 8-11pm (Mon-Fri); 10am-2pm (Sat and Sun).
