Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Catalonia on this week-long garden holiday. With four full-day guided excursions, you will explore some of the region’s most captivating – and often overlooked – green spaces. Visit Barcelona for a guided tour of the Laberint d’Horta Gardens, the city’s oldest conserved garden, and the Fundació Agustí Pedro Pons, a 16th–17th-century residence surrounded by peaceful gardens. You also venture to the Italian Renaissance-style gardens of Santa Clotilde and the Marimurtra Botanical Gardens in Blanes, founded by German botanist Carl Faust. Spend a day on Montjuïc, exploring the Jardins de Laribal and Jardins de Joan Maragall – elegant spaces with fountains, sculptures, and formal layouts. See the Mediterranean plants of the Historic Botanical Garden and enjoy another full-day excursion to Girona, to visit La Devesa Park, with its plane-tree avenues and historic gardens, and Jardins dels Alemanys, set among medieval walls. You stay at the locally rated 4-star Kaktus Hotel Volga, a typically Spanish hotel with a beaschside setting in traditional Calella.
