Situated on the hillside, it is the oldest surviving park in the city and a magnificent example of 18th-century neo-classical gardens. By occupying three levels or terraced sections, the access ramps are steep and long. The cypress tree labyrinth that gives its name to the park is compacted earth and can be visited in a wheelchair, although the ground is irregular.

You can ask for maps at the entrance with the accessible routes marked for wheelchair users. There is an adapted toilet booth in the bar, where it lacks the tip-up support bar. Entry to the park is free on Wednesdays, Sundays and for people with reduced mobility.

A guided visit can be made through mobile phone by calling 3997 if the operator is Movistar, or 629 003 997 if it is another operator.
  The Horta maze can be visited in a wheelchair.
