We review the botanical gardens you can visit during your stay in Platja d’Aro
The great virtues of the Costa Brava often mean that some places go almost completely unnoticed despite being wonderful plans to enjoy as a couple, with family or even with friends.
One of the secrets it hides are the botanical gardens. Hotel Platja d’Aro is located in an unbeatable location: beach, shopping centre, supermarkets, shops, etc. A game of bowling, going to the beach, a film premiere, playing sport, eating an ice cream, diving or going shopping are recurring activities within our most immediate reach, but why not say yes to a completely different plan?
Platja d’Aro is a town open to all kinds of tourism and a certified family tourism destination. There is room for everything and everyone.
Lovers of tranquillity, living nature and imagination have four botanical gardens on the Costa Brava that cannot be missed. They are ideal places to learn about trees and plants of all kinds. Don’t you know which they are?
Marimurtra Botanical Garden
Five hectares and steep slopes among a multitude of stairs and paths. It is in Blanes, the first town on the Costa Brava. It is not only a tourist attraction but also an important research centre in botany and biology.
Cap Roig Botanical Gardens
In Calella de Palafrugell, more than a thousand botanical species from all over the world await you, as well as a good number of sculptures by world-renowned artists.
Santa Clotilde Gardens
These early-20th-century gardens are located in Lloret de Mar, on a cliff with spectacular sea views. They were designed in 1919 with a clear Italian influence, creating a harmonious combination with the architectural work of the surroundings.
