Full description

These terraced gardens take advantage of Montjuïc's sun-facing slope to grow an extensive collection of cacti and succulents from around the world, some of them decades old and strikingly large. The setting near the port gives sweeping sea views to go with the unusual planting, a combination reviewers often highlight as more distinctive than a typical botanical stop.

It works well as part of a longer walk toward Montjuïc Castle rather than a destination on its own.
