This park, known as the Gardens of Santa Margarita, is one of the most important symbols of the history of Linares. It is one of the few gardens from the 19th century that have been preserved, and they were built as a recreation area for the miners who left or returned from the Arrayanes path.

Its benefactors were the Marquises of Linares, who donated these lands (known as "Los solares de Murga", where the jurisdictional roll indicating the end of the population was located). At the entrance through the Plaza de la Constitución there is a fountain - monument dedicated to the Marquises.

The gardens are well cared for, there are different flower beds, hedges... and trees of different species, including orange trees. Inside the park is the Monument to Manolete, and on the other side of the park, the emblematic Plaza de Toros de Linares where the bullfighter died.

The Santa Margarita Gardens in Linares are one of the city's most iconic green spaces, with a rich history linked to the bullring and the urban expansion of the 19th century.

The land was included in the 1878 expansion plan, next to the Paseo de Linarejos.
