Jardins de la Tamarita

Informazioni

Fatti rapidi: These gardens were once the private estate of a wealthy Barcelona textile family, designed by the same landscape architect who worked on Park Güell. A peaceful maze of boxwood hedges, bamboo groves, and shaded pathways hides elegant sculptures and a charming white gazebo among the greenery.

Punti salienti: Unlike the manic crowds of Park Güell, this garden offers the same early 20th century landscape architecture with barely a dozen visitors on a sunny afternoon. You can sit on a marble bench beside a trickling fountain and hear nothing but birds and rustling leaves, a rare pocket of silence in Barcelona.

Consigli da insider

• Enter through the unmarked iron gate on Carrer de la Mare de Déu de la Salut, the main entrance is easy to miss.
• Bring a book or sketchpad, the benches near the central fountain are perfect for a quiet afternoon.
• Combine with a walk through the Sarrià district afterward, the neighborhood has excellent tapas bars away from tourist crowds.
• Skip the gazebo if it's occupied, the bamboo grove behind the pond offers even better photo compositions.
