After years of waiting, El Patio Andaluz, that corner that seems to be taken from a Sevillian square, reopens so that when you walk through the woods of Palermo you can rediscover one of the most beautiful gardens in Buenos Aires. It has been renovated and if you don’t know it or haven’t visited it for a long time, it’s time to do it.
The Patio Andaluz de Buenos Aires has reopened and it is as good as new: 8000 roses, Don Quixote tiles and a privileged view of Palermo’s lake.
The Patio Andaluz of Buenos Aires was built 96 years ago and was a gift from the city of Seville to Buenos Aires. Since then, it is a unique piece within the 3 de Febrero Park, surrounded by 8000 roses of 93 species that make up the Rose Garden.
This is the first restoration since 2008 and included work on the central fountain, a secondary fountain, eight staircases, sunken and broken floors, railings, iron columns and the pergola that frames the patio. Indoor and outdoor benches were also recovered, some with a direct view of the lake and the classic white bridge.
Its Sevillian tiles depict scenes from Don Quixote de la Mancha and episodes from classic Spanish life. Every bench, every fountain and every detail was restored to bring it back to its original spirit of 1929, when it arrived by ship from Spain.
Since the restoration of the Andalusian courtyard of Buenos Aires, the city not only recovered its heritage value, but also an ideal place to go in couples, with family or friends and enjoy the view of Palermo Lake or the Rosedal.
