Jardí Botànic de Caixa de Girona, Botanical garden in Palafrugell and Mont-ras, Spain.
The garden spans 17 hectares featuring Mediterranean flora, endemic Catalonian species, and dedicated sections showcasing different regional plant varieties and biomes.
Russian aristocrat Nicolai Woevodsky and his English wife Dorothy Webster established the garden in 1927, transforming the coastal landscape into a botanical collection.
The garden hosts the Cap Roig Festival during summer months, presenting musical performances and art exhibitions in the castle's plaza.
The garden operates from 10:00 to 18:00 between October and March, extending to 20:00 from April through September, with accessible paths throughout.
More than 1,000 plant species grow within the garden, which integrates a medieval-style castle offering views across the Costa Brava coastline.
