Customer Reviews
The fountains weren’t working when we visited, which was a pity, but everything else felt pretty neglected as well. literally any city park in Spain looks better. There is even a poster they’ve hung up that they are trying to improve the facilities 😅
Disappointing. All the middle water features are empty, so there is no water, no fountains. Part of the gardens closed off. No deductions in cost. Personally, I don't believe it's should be open whilst it's under renovation. Currently, it's a waste of money and time visiting. From the photos shown around the gardens, it looks like it can be beautiful.
Gorgeous location to take yourself on a wee wander. It’s only €4/5 and you can see the old ruins of time gone by. Self service ticket machine is just across the road. You can also see the massive gardens and water features. I went probably at the hottest time of day (13:15) and of the year (August) so was rather unwise of me as it was an intense sun-trap. That being said, it was a lovely day. ☀️
