La Concepción
A centenarian Syagrus romanzoffiana
La Concepcion is home to a romantic-style garden that was officially recognised as a “garden of
historical-artistic importance” in 1943. Worthy of particular note among the 1,000-plus species to
be found on the estate are the trees that make up the enormous wood, where ficuses, araucarias,
casuarinas, magnolias, pines, cypresses and cedars, some over 100 years old, create a remarkable
arboretum. Species from subtropical climes predominate here. The gardens’ collection of palm trees
is considered one of the finest in all of Europe, comprising almost 100 species, some of which are
unique exhibits, such as a 7-bough date tree and a Chilean palm which is one of the biggest of its
type in Spain, as well as a number of trees rarely found in these latitudes. La Concepcion also
boasts a large collection of aquatic plants, bamboos, cycads, zamias and encephalartos, a wide
variety of traditional Malaga vines and fruit trees and natural areas of Mediterranean forest.
