Jardín Botánico Marimurtra

Jardín Botánico Marimurtra is a coastal garden near Blanes containing more than 4,000 plant species arranged in specialized sections. Pathways guide visitors through different themed areas such as Mediterranean, tropical, and cactus zones, each clearly labeled with plant information.

German botanist Karl Faust founded this garden in the early 20th century to collect and preserve Mediterranean and international plant species. His dedication established it as an important center for botanical research and conservation.

The garden reflects Noucentisme, a Catalan cultural movement that shaped early 20th-century design and landscaping. You can see this influence in how the spaces are organized and built.

Different themed sections are connected by well-maintained pathways that are easy to navigate. Wear sturdy footwear since some areas are situated on sloped terrain.

The garden maintains specialized plant collections from regions with similar Mediterranean climates around the world. This allows visitors to compare ecological patterns and differences between distant coastal landscapes.
