Pinya de Rosa Garden

In 1954, Fernando Rivière de Caralt created this botanical garden. It's particular feature is adapting tropical plant species to the Mediterranean climate. That is why plants and trees, such as cactus, opuntias or aloes, amongst others, live in a rich context of native vegetation.

Santa Clotilde Gardens

These gardens were designed in 1919 by Nicolau Maria Rubió i Tudurí. They are set on the top of the cliff side with impressive sea views.
