Empuriabrava, Marimurtra and Pinya de Rosa are beautiful towns located on the Costa Brava, where you can discover exceptional landscapes. If you are looking to relax by going on vacation in an exceptional natural setting, here are 3 types of places to visit in these charming towns:
A tropical garden in Empuriabrava
The Butterfly Park in Empuriabrava is a tropical garden of around 1 km², with lush flora and fauna, to discover alone or accompanied. This magnificent garden is home to all kinds of animals and plants worthy of a tropical environment: their natural habitat has been carefully recreated, with temperatures of 28°C and humidity levels of 80%. Turtles, parrots, even iguanas and exotic butterflies can be seen. It's the best way to discover species you'd never come across in your everyday life.
The botanical gardens of Marimurtra and Pinya de Rosa
The town of Blanes boasts two magnificent botanical gardens with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. You can even swim in the heavenly coves just a stone's throw from the gardens.
- The first, called the Marimurtra garden, is one of the Costa Brava's top attractions. With its 4,000 species of plants, it is home to many varieties of birds, including parrots, always happy to meet new visitors.
- The second garden, called Pinya de Rosa, has breathtaking sea views and 7,000 tropical species to delight nature lovers. The most popular plants are cacti and aloe vera.
Natural parks accessible by hiking trails
For lovers of the wilderness, it's possible to access some of the Costa's hidden coves only via hiking trails, of which there are fortunately many. The longest and best-known is the Camino de Ronda (GR 92), recognizable by the international sign of a white stripe above a red one.
Among the many nature parks that exist, we recommend Cap de Creus, which offers visitors fantastic hiking trails that are fun for all the family.
Thanks to thousands of years of erosion by wind and rain on the rock, the landscape features curious geological shapes reminiscent of animals.
