Cactus Garden on Mount Montjuic

It is not only palm trees and flowers that grow on Mount Montjuic. Here is a rich collection of cacti, which are the main attraction of the garden on the mountain. At the bottom of the track, this garden is perfectly visible, which is worth a visit.

In the garden you can find cacti of any size - both small and huge, reaching a length of as many as three human heights. There are furry cacti here, and sometimes there are quite smooth ones. The cacti growing in this garden were brought from Africa, Australia, Latin and North America. They have taken root in the Mediterranean environment and feel good - judging by the exuberant color and colors.

The garden covers more than six hectares of the entire mountain. It originates from a private collection of plants by João Paneilla Bonastre, who was a botanist and gardener. To create a garden, he chose this place, successfully combining blue sky and sea views. The exact date of foundation of the garden is 1970.
