Get to know the Historical Botanical Garden

The hacienda of La Concepción has its origin in the union of several farms located on the banks of the Guadalmedina River, north of the city of Malaga. With an agricultural vocation, they included cereal crops, olive trees, almond trees, vines and, above all, citrus fruits. Its creators were the Marquises of Casa Loring, Jorge Loring Oyarzábal and Amalia Heredia Livermore, both children of well-known businessmen who came to the city in search of fortune.
