Jardi Botanic Marimurtra on the Costa Brava

Created by Karl Faust, this garden on the hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea is a botanist's collection of plants of the world organized into areas. For example these plants from the Canary Islands.

 Plants from South Africa

There are generous paths between the areas

The view of the sea shows the dramatic coastline of the Costa Brava

It is not a shore I would care to get wrecked on in a storm

There was even a mature flowering Grevillea robusta in the garden

Some parts of the garden are very formal

While others are less formal

In places the colours were terrific
