The Garden of the Hesperides was an innovative project carried out in the year 2000 that sought to recreate the classic myth of the Apples of the Hesperides in a space of 4700 square meters through different plant species and sculptures that would transport us to this legendary space. In this wonderful garden, the cypresses and citrus trees stand out, creating, together with the fountains and ponds, a haven of peace where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
In this garden we can find different structures and designs; In some areas we will see decreasing terraces, in other pergolas and in other wide esplanades, but whatever the case, the most spectacular part of this green construction is in the central part of the garden. n where the golden apple tree, sculptures of mythological characters such as the nymphs, the dragon, the snake or the great sculpture of Hercules are arranged. Other elements that capture all our attention are those related to water and its path; In different areas of the garden we can find ponds with sculptures that represent nymphs metamorphosed into trees or the beautiful goddess Venus emerging from her bath.
