Malecón promenade and gardens · optional extension

The Malecón recalls that the river was not always simply an attractive landscape: this promenade originated in protection against its waters. Today it offers a slower way to explore the relationship between city and cultivated countryside, away from the shopping streets. Decide how far to walk before starting, since reaching the end is not necessary to enjoy it. Observe gardens, trees and the transition between built-up and open spaces. This extension suits a day with spare time and comfortable temperatures. In hot weather, take breaks and avoid the strongest heat. Do not enter closed riverside areas, and respect notices about works or weather conditions.
