Botanical Garden of Cap Roig
The Cap Roig Botanical Garden is located in Calella de Palafrugell, in the surroundings of Cap Roig Castle. The gardens and the castle were the brainchild of the couple formed by the Russian soldier Nicholas Woevodski and the British aristocrat Dorothy Webster, who found in this corner of the Costa Brava the dream place to settle down.
In an area of approximately 20 hectares, there are more than 800 botanical species from all over the world that make up one of the most formidable gardens in the whole of the Mediterranean. This beautiful spot also has picnic areas, terraces and sculptures created by national and international artists.
Nowadays, the gardens of Cap Roig host every summer one of the most popular music festivals on the Costa Brava.
Visit Calella de Palafrugell
All the beauty of a fishing village
Calella de Palafrugell is one of the few towns on the Costa Brava that still conserves part of the appearance it had before the arrival of tourism. The cobbled pavements, the narrow streets and the typical fishermen's houses located on the seafront are some of the elements that make up the personality of Calella.
It's a culturally very lively town, with two very important annual events: the Cap Roig Festival held in the Cap Roig Botanical Garden, and the "Havaneres" concert, which is usually held at the beginning of July in the charming square of Port Bo.
The range of hotels in Calella de Palafrugell is very wide and of excellent quality. These hotels have facilities with all the comforts you need to make the most of your stay. Moreover, some of the hotels have a very good location just a few minutes' walk from the centre and the Port Bo beach, where you will find all the charm of the town.
