Botanical garden located on a small peninsula south of the village of Calella houses nearly 1,000 botanical species

Situated on a small peninsula in the south of the village of Calella, it is rightly regarded as one of the most important botanical gardens in the Mediterranean area and its visit will be a great pleasure. Cape Roig originated in 1927 when Colonel Voevodsky bought this area to build a castle. His wife, an English aristocrat lover of architecture, takes care of the creation of the garden, structured in terraced terraces from castle to sea. This wonderful 17-hectare framework now houses nearly 1 000 botanical species from all over the world, as well as sculptures from recognized artists. Every summer, the prestigious Festival Jardins de Cap Roig offers a first-class musical selection in this incomparable setting.

A beautifully arranged botanical garden in an idyllic setting. It's very steep with beautiful views at each level. The vegetation is luxuriant because the maintenance is perfectly realized with an automatic irrigation device. This reminds me of the botanical garden in Monaco but I think it is more complete because many botanical species are present, very well listed. A sure visit that should not be missed, by favoring the morning in the summer, because otherwise the warmth quickly renders the visit painful (although many shaded stops are planned).
