Description
Alcazar is a small but lovely hidden garden in Balboa Park across the road from the Museum of Man. It got its name from Alcazar Castle in Seville, Spain, as some of the designs mimic Spanish style, such as colored tiles, elegant fountains, and pergolas. Gardeners plant the flower beds with more than 7,000 seasonal flowers and keep them perfectly groomed. Hand-painted tiles decorate fountains and the edges of flower beds. It is a nice place to take a relaxing walk and admire local flora and fauna.
