Parc de Garraf, Nature park in Catalonia's coastal mountains, Spain

The limestone park covers 12,820 hectares between Baix Llobregat, Alt Penedès, and Garraf regions, featuring deep canyons and Mediterranean vegetation patterns.

The area transformed from agricultural land to protected status in 1992, following centuries of wheat and vineyard cultivation that ended with the phylloxera plague.

The Plana Novella palace, constructed in 1890, now functions as a Buddhist monastery where visitors can explore Tibetan art exhibitions.

Access to the park is available through nearby train stations at Castelldefels, Garraf, Sitges, and Vilanova i la Geltrú, with marked trails leading to key areas.

The park contains numerous caves and sinkholes formed by water erosion in its karst landscape, supporting species typically found in North Africa.
