Pretty gardens, little botanic interest for me, but a nice space to pass an hour or so relaxing. More

I suppose you have to get exited about tall, old trees to get the most out of this place, although the bromeloid house (the name of the small greenhouse with pineapple and it's relatives) was also quite a highlight, as was the orchid house. I spent several hours wandering the many paths of the gardens and thoroughly enjoyed everything there... More

Admittedly I was there in February, but the plants in the hot houses were not well tended not were those outside. There is an odor of kitty litter that pervades the garden. Perhaps it is better in the spring??? More

Not huge but without a doubt worth a visit and you can still spend several hours here if you are interested in plants. The cacti are very impressive and just to see them makes it worthwhile! Low admission costs makes it also good value for money! More

The Jardi Botanic is a very nice green space in a large Spanish city. The city has spent time and effort into providing a peaceful place to walk within a busy city. More

We visited this park twice. The first time we had a slow stroll and admired the plants. The second time I snoozed on a bench with the beautiful sound of the water features in the back ground. Not many people were here when we visited, just a few locals sat relaxing and shading from the sun. Its only a ten... More
