La Mall is Vigo's most central urban park.It has a wide catalog of flowers such as camellias and trees such as chestnuts from Indies, which shape a botanical garden.For a few months he has also been home to the Dinosaur -shaped bush that became a mass idol and protagonist of selfies.He was transferred from Porta do Sol on the occasion of the works.But the tyrannosaurus is not the only animal that lives the Plaza de Compostela.Before his arrival there was already a stone zoo formed by statues such as a hyena, a giant snail or a goat.
Docklands
