Cactualdea offers much more than just prickly plants, some of which were brought here from exotic parts of the world, such as Madagascar. Accompanied by the gentle rippling of the water, visitors can expect the eruption of an artificial volcano right after the amphitheater, which points to the steps that lead into the beautiful garden. A large stone path leads through the entire park past countless cacti, which are surrounded by palm trees, aloe plants and Canary Island spurge. The scene is observed by peacocks, ducks, turtles and donkeys that roam around here carefree. After the tour, the cave, a tapas meal in the park's own restaurant or the souvenir shop, where you can buy a souvenir of a wonderful day, await you.

The largest cactus park in Europe

Six meters. That is the height of the largest cactus in the Cactualdea Park, without doubt one of its main protagonists and the most popular photo subject of all. When you walk through the largest cactus park in Europe, it is the most normal thing in the world to stop and marvel at the enormous size that some of the specimens in the collection of 1,200 species have reached. They all live in the town of La Aldea de San Nicolás in the west of Gran Canaria, on an area of 15,000 square meters that can be easily covered on a one-hour tour.

Beautiful cacti but of course the ones in the interior of the island are more impressive to see.
