Castilleja de la Cuesta, Spain, Spain

---

Jardín Botánico El Arboreto (also known as Arboreto del Carambolo) is a botanical garden on the A‑472 “Cuesta del Caracol” road near Castilleja de la Cuesta, in the municipality of Camas just outside Seville, created and managed by the municipal water company EMASESA as an environmental project and public green space.

It occupies about 4 hectares of landscaped hillside with two ponds linked by an artificial stream and paths that lead through more than 500–600 plant species from around the world, representing about 119 botanical families and including Mediterranean shrubs and trees (such as olives and oaks), tropical and subtropical ornamentals, palms, cacti and other exotics, many of them rescued from collections used in Seville’s 1992 Expo.

The garden is divided into themed areas like pergola and perennial beds, a lagoon and canal zone, and various plant collections, providing habitat for local fauna and serving as a site for environmental education, guided group visits and quiet recreation with scheduled opening hours and a modest entry fee.
