The Marimurtra Botanical Garden , or Jardí Botànic Marimurtra, is situated on top of a rocky cliff in Blanes, Spain. The garden is the perfect place to spend a few hours on a leisurely stroll, learning about the foliage and soaking up the breathtaking views of the surrounding Mediterranean Sea.
The gardens were founded by a German botanist, Carl Faust, in the 1920’s. A statue in his honor occupies a prominent spot on the beach in the heart of Blanes. My kids thought it was cool that they had learned about him while visiting the beach and village, just an hour before our tour of the gardens.
