Parque Genovés is a historic botanical garden located along the seafront in the old town of Cádiz, Spain. Established in the late 18th century, it has undergone several expansions and renovations, notably in 1892 under Mayor Eduardo Genovés y Puig, after whom the park is named. Key Features: - Diverse Flora: The park boasts over 150 species of trees, palms, and shrubs, many of which are exotic and have adapted well to Cádiz's unique microclimate. Notable specimens include: - A centenary Drago tree (Dracaena draco). - A Metrosidero (Metrosideros excelsa) from New Zealand, considered one of the most significant in Europe. - Two varieties of Araucaria, some reaching heights of up to 50 meters. - A "Palo Borracho" (Chorisia speciosa), known for its distinctive swollen trunk. Architectural Elements: The park features several sculptures and monuments, including the "Niños bajo el paraguas" fountain, commonly known as "la fuente de los niños del paragüitas" and statues dedicated to figures such as José Celestino Mutis, the Duchess of Victoria, José María Pemán, and Félix Rodríguez. A notable waterfall and grotto, offering a picturesque setting within the park. Layout: The park's design includes a central avenue lined with cypress trees pruned into various shapes, reflecting English topiary styles. The asymmetrical layout of the rest of the park features diverse parterres and winding paths, creating a serene environment for visitors. Parque Genovés serves as a green oasis in Cádiz, offering both locals and tourists a tranquil space to enjoy nature and the city's rich history.
