Popular Gardens in Barcelona

"The Laribal Gardens are one of the gems of the Montjuïc Park, perfect for an afternoon, leisurely stroll in the sun.

The Gardens were named after, and belonged to the estate of, Josep Laribal, a prestigious lawyer and journalist."

"Jardins de LaribalBarcelona, SpainStop by the Jardins de Laribal on your way down from Montjuïc to check out the sculptures and just stroll leisurely. This spot is perfect for stair lovers (those of us who enjoy going up and down dozens of steps for fitness purposes). This park used to be a popular hangout spot for politicians and gastronomic enthusiasts back in the day."

"The Botanical Gardens are well worth a visit for design fans|© David Ridley / Alamy Stock Photo. The Botanical Gardens in Barcelona are worth a visit not just for the beautiful flora – the gardens feature vegetation from the five regions in the world that have a Mediterranean-type climate – but also for the architecture by Carlos Ferrater and Josep Lluís Canosa, who won a competition in 1988 to build a new botanical garden. Their clever concept is based on fractal geometry, which creates an interesting tension with the organic shapes of the foliage."

The gardens have elegant, tree-lined paths, large open grassy spaces, flowerbeds, impressive fountains and sculptures. The gardens are truly fit for a king, as they were constructed for the King of Spain at the start of the 20th century, Alfons XIII. The Joan Maragall Gardens also contain a small palace that still remains as a royal residence when the royal family come to Barcelona on official visits."
