This huge park measuring about 220 hectares has a golf ground which itself measures 60 hectares. The park is known to be one of the most beautiful parks in Spain. It is known for its lush greenery, very well planned rows of trees, etc.

Some even call this a theme park. The park is located at a place where the underground water is harnessed to grow the trees and plants. An artificial lake has been created to provide enough underground water to the park. It is a beautiful work of architecture.

Each of the landscape is represented by three cultures namely, the Christian, Muslim and the Jewish culture.
