As the name suggests, Cactualdea Park is a sort of botanical garden focusing on the display of hundreds of species of cacti, more precisely, 1,200 of them. Several palm trees and dragon trees peg out the garden strategically, but visitors should rest assured: there is much more to Cactualdea Park than meets the eye. Thus, the Guanche cave is one definite highlight of the park. Furthermore, the tempting restaurant located in the park, as well as the large cellar might complement the visits of those who want to indulge in gastronomic and oenological samplings. On top of that, the park attains its peak of popularity during the so-called Lucha Canaria, which is hosted by the generous amphitheater of the park.
