History
Blanes grew as a fishing port and gateway to the Costa Brava; the botanical garden was founded in the early 20th century as a scientific and public exhibition space.
Conservation
The garden manages microclimates and non-native collections carefully; visitors are asked to follow paths and avoid collecting seeds to protect sensitive specimens.

Sun protection is essential
The terraces are exposed; bring SPF 30+, a hat and sunglasses to avoid prolonged sun on limestone surfaces.
Comfortable walking shoes
Paths are paved but stepped—sturdy shoes reduce foot fatigue and improve footing on coastal stone.
Hydrate before and during
Bring a refillable water bottle; fountains are limited and sea air can dehydrate faster than expected.
Reserve early if departing Barcelona
Private tours fill on weekends and summer; confirm pick-up details and meeting points when you book.
