The grounds feature winding paths, garden areas, and plaques commemorating the cast and crew of the production. Its theme serves as a cultural tribute to the show's significant impact on Spanish popular culture and tourism in the Axarquía region. The park layout integrates play areas for children alongside the television-themed monuments.
