If you thought you couldn't explore all the continents in one walk and see the flora of all those places, I am sorry but I have to tell you that you are wrong. There is a place where you can see the trees, shrubs, and other plants of America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Europe in just one walk. That place is located in Malaga, actually in Botanical Garden La Concepción.
We have already walked around here, remember? And I told you it was a huge garden, so I had to divide the sections of that place into several posts. Today we are walking the part of the route called Around the World in 80 Trees.
It started here, where the Administrator's House is. Once, I showed you an exhibition from one of its halls. There were two of these halls, in the second one there was an interesting exhibition about plants but I didn't take more photos of it, leaving that task to my husband who was with me on this walk.
Next to the Administrator's House, we saw another, smaller building, whose name in translation to English is Little House of Cypresses. Casita in Spanish (little house), but it was as charming as the big building with its exhibition halls. Now from here, we indeed start our walk around the world!
An interesting fact that can be read in this board is that every tree planted here is assigned to a child who is responsible for taking care of it. And indeed, by the names of the trees, on the little plaques by each of them, there was also a name of a person. We can also read that the path is only 400 metres long (it seemed longer, as we stopped many times to read the names of the plants) but that apart from 80 trees we can find also bushes, herbaceous plants and climbers.
It started with the continent of America. Now, while transferring the photos to my laptop, many of the photos got out of order, so I am sorry if any trees appear out of place. 😅
The paths were more or less the same, wide, in some parts there were benches to rest if you needed and around the paths we saw the flora, properly labelled with their names.
It is also interesting to think about the variety of so many different species of trees that grow around the world. Maybe once, millions of years ago, if the theory of Pangaea is certain, they all lived in one continent (supercontinent). When it broke up, the plants and animals who found themselves in separated continents developed into different, unique species. How and in what the flora and fauna developed also depended on climate and soil composition. These were very important factors that for sure affected all the species. Hey - that is history now, and we are not in a lesson, but on a walk! It is anyway interesting to think about it.
I hope you are still not tired from the walk - we still have a few continents to walk through haha. But walking among trees has its benefits so I hope you also enjoy this Wednesday walk. Apart from doing physical activity, being surrounded by trees is good for our mental health, we can breathe fresh air and clean oxygen and escape from the city centre and concrete. Well, I like the city too, and Malaga for sure is awesome, but balance is always needed.
I didn't expect I could jump to Oceania too, just with our trip to Malaga at the beginning of this year. That is quite far away from Spain. 😅
During our tour, we also came across an aqueduct that appears to have been built in the 18th century. The board indicates that it was one of the most important hydraulic engineering works of that era in Spain.
One of the nicest spots in my opinion was the path surrounded by these palm trees. This part of the route is simply called the Collection of Palm Trees. The name already is attractive to me! 😁
Looking again towards the sky. 😍
Once we stepped out of the world of the palm trees we were back to the regular path and I think the tour around the world in 80 trees finished there. We still had a few interesting paths to visit in this botanical garden... I can say that the citizens of Malaga are lucky to have this place close to the city, and even visit so many remote places just in one walk! 🌿
Carming place to wander. Love the palm trees alley!
That was my favourite too 😍
I hope you are also surrounded by some palm trees here in Spain 😉
Yes, lots of trees, palms and huge ficuses!😍
What a good nature and educational walk. A very cool concept to see so many trees from all over the world. I like the palm trees the best because I don't get to see them all that often 🙂
Imagine palm trees covered with snow... haha :D
Glad you also liked them 🌴 😇
🤣 🤣 That would be a site to see ❄️ 🌴 ❄️
😂
Wowww I need to be there, and with your tour I'm back. What else can I say if it's one of my favourite places... I haven't been there for so long and I never got to see the museum. I love it, it relaxes me for a moment. Thank you!
I hope you can visit this place you love so much and with your mom too!! :))
Have you managed to get into touch with the affected by the floods? 🙏
I am missing a person, who is very dear to me and has my belongings, furniture, photos... things of sentimental value, I hope to contact her soon. There is a lot of material loss, I am all day long trying to connect help with people who are left with nothing. Today has been an exhausting day. Thank you!
Walking under the trees makes me happy, and looking at your post makes me calm.
Hello @teacherlynlyn
Trees can transmit calmness, we were also hugging the trees there hehe, it was good! 😇
It is such a beautiful area of the jardin. So many different trees to see.
Great captures. I remember going into the building too and seeing an exhibition.
Have a lovely evening.

I hope these posts from Malaga, actually the places you have been to reminded in nice memories 😇
Thank you very much and a pleasant evening to you too! ✨
This place is a gem! It was very relaxing to read and see these photos ❤️ 😊.
The whole botanical garden took us some three hours to walk through haha. If I didn't have other plans for later we could stay for longer and take it at a slower pace 😁
It deserves a full day visit! 😍
What a cool portion of the park, I love the name they gave it a play on around the world in 80 days
so cool each tree is assigned a child to help care for it
Thanks for joining the Wednesday walk and have a good day
Yeah, pretty cool name and the whole idea behind it. I wish all my Wednesday walks could happen there haha 🌳
Of course, the name is inspired by Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days", which I remember from childhood. The botanical garden is vast, a great place for a long walk in the shade of the 80 trees. I liked the palm trees, significantly as they don't grow where I live.
Can you think of anything I didn't like? Can you guess?
The paved walkways. I would've liked some more rustic paths, more like forest roads. Forgive me; sometimes, I'm a bit grumpy.
Yes, indeed, like Jules Verne's book, but through 80 trees. How nice idea it was to make this place and call this route like that ;))
I get you, small, rustic paths would be perfect; and there was one, a few levels up, in the forest, it was called the forest route.
I suppose these wide pavements are needed because of the maintenance and accessibility of all the spots by the workers, as well as to facilitate access for people with disabilities. My guesses just. 😉
Good night @bluemoon 👋
