Our trip to sunny Benalmadena

We walked to this place directly from Tivoli Amusement Park, walked on foot in about half an hour.

While approaching the park, we saw roosters crowing and running around the parking lot.

They say that rabbits live in the park, but they didn’t come across to us.

We want to note that we were on vacation from the end of May to the beginning of June 2019.

Near the main entrance to the park there is a map of the area, symbols and a cafe.

The map shows all the most important points of the park, the central lake and paths:

We were a little surprised by the legend with a pissing dog - we saw this for the first time.

And here are the first feathered inhabitants of the park with their brood of chickens:

In this photo you can see that along with hens and roosters the cunning and ubiquitous pigeons peck the bread:

Roosters and chickens have everything: an abundance of bread snacks, as well as drinking water.

And here is the green friend of domestic birds - a parrot! By the way, he pecked a loaf along with everyone.

In Paloma Park, you can feed the birds with a roll and this is not officially prohibited.

The birds are very voracious: as soon as you throw crumbs to one rooster - immediately from the thickets of bushes run the rest along with chickens.

Here you can see a small swan island with tired from prying eyes to swans. There were two of them, one swan was sleeping:

Another swan wearily showed off before the guests of the park:

Just look at what grace and plumage are!

In the center of a large reservoir there is a special bridge so that guests can feed birds and turtles:

The ducks had an excellent appetite, and the children were thrilled!

We felt a little sorry for the turtles - ducks did not allow them to grab pieces of bread.

Therefore, we came up with a cunning plan - one of us distracted the ducks, and another rolled heavy lumps of rolls and threw turtles to the bottom.

Sailing deep, turtles caught pieces.

But some turtles did not understand that they were being thrown edible and caught some strange garbage floating nearby.

And here are turtles basking in the sun:

Some unknown bird species live in the park, if you can you determine the type of this bird - please write in the comments at the bottom of the article (if it is available)!

These birds, for example, look like geese:

They swam very funny:

And here is a family of ducks with ducklings:

And in this photo mother duck skillfully leads a column of kids:

There were also horned representatives of the local fauna in the park, they were closed in the aviary, but they are very clearly visible to everyone:

Be sure to visit the Park de la Paloma in Benalmadena if you are planning a vacation. with a child - he will be delighted.

Even for adults, the park will be interesting. We could not resist and bought a loaf white bread to feed it to the inhabitants of the park.
