Salón Garden

About

Jardines del Paraíso is a quiet and elegant green space in Granada, offering a refreshing contrast to the city’s lively historic centre. Once part of a private estate, the garden has been carefully restored to preserve its intimate character, with winding paths, shaded corners, and a thoughtful blend of native and ornamental plants. Its design reflects the Andalusian tradition of creating peaceful outdoor retreats where water, greenery, and architecture coexist in harmony. Visitors can enjoy the gentle sound of fountains, the scent of seasonal flowers, and views framed by cypress and palm trees that evoke the region’s Moorish heritage. Though less known than Granada’s major monuments, Jardines del Paraíso provides a serene escape for those seeking a slower rhythm, making it a cherished spot for quiet walks, reading, or simply absorbing the city’s softer side.
