Indeed, the Alameda – or Gibraltar Botanic Gardens – host a large number of plants and trees, including a Dragon Tree which is around 300 years old. Likewise, a wide variety of wildlife, including bats, seasonal birds and reptiles, can be found in ‘la Alameda’. The Gardens, however, have a long and rich history which dates back to the Georgian period.
