Pedralbes Palace Gardens. A touch of distinction.
The origin of this site lies in the early XX Century as a project of a garden town for Barcelona’s upper bourgeoisie, promoted by Güell family in a plot they owned. Pedralbes garden town was in part a failure, and this prompted the Güell family to finally ceded to King Alfonso XIII part of the plot, which became Pedralbes Royal Palace, devoted to house the King during his trips to Barcelona.
MOSSÈN COSTA LLOBERA GARDENS in Montjuïc. Succulents’ paradise.
Regardless of this view, one can say that, objectively speaking, this garden is the home to one of the best existing collections of succulents, with interesting exotic species. One should also bear in mind the excellent views over Barcelona Harbour.
BARCELONA GOTHIC DISTRICT or Ciutat Vella.
It is the center of the old city of Barcelona. Here, in the Gothic Quarter, we find the City Hall and the seat of the Catalan Government, the Palau de la Generalitat, the Cathedral and other Gothic churches, including Santa Maria del Pi. Very near the Plaça de Sant Jaume, right in the middle of this Barcelona neighborhood, is the old Jewish Quarter, the Call Jueu, with its endless narrow streets, where some remains of the ancient synagogue still survive.
SANTA CLOTILDE Gardens- The Eternal Classicism
Located on a cliff, with unequalled views of the sea, Santa Clotilde gardens have been declared a cultural asset of national interest. The gardens sought to illustrate the harmony characterizing Classical style, inspired from the Italian Renaissance gardens. His blueprint took maximum advantage of the location’s rugged terrain and vistas, building pathways with elegant stairways and ramps.
Girona is one of the most beautiful and historic cities of Catalonia, with more than 2000 years of history. The city’s artistic heritage has been preserved in the numerous monuments that have survived until today. The highlights of Girona are rounded off by the impressive old Jewish Quarter, with its beautiful streets and porticoed squares.
GIRONA
HORTA LABYRINTH PARK in BARCELONA. Classic and romantic
Horta Labyrinth Park was born Neoclassical, and ended up Romantic. This is why we can find gardened areas where nature has been mastered and ordained, as well as wilder spots. In addition to the labyrinth made up of pruned Italian cypresses, after which the whole compound is named, a walk through the rest of the park allows to enjoy an ornamental and landscape beauty unique in the city.

PARK GÜELL -BARCELONA
After the visit we can complete the day having some free time in Barcelona, or visiting the Park Güell.
