Pinya de Rosa Botanical Garden is a large coastal garden near Blanes, known for its collection of aloe, agave, cactus, and other dryland plants. It makes a good contrast with nearby Marimurtra, with more emphasis on succulents and sculptural desert plants.
The garden is best visited slowly, with time to look at the plant collections and the Costa Brava setting around them. It is a worthwhile stop for garden lovers and anyone spending more than a quick beach day in Blanes.
