Templet de Linné

The Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes is in itself a great reason for going to spend the day in this seaside town. It has five hectares that stretch from the hill of Sant Francesc to the cliffs of Sa Forcanera in a promenade of flora from all over the world that finishes, naturally, with a Mediterranean garden in front of the sea. It's in this part, in the Mediterranean garden, that you'll find a small viewing-point in the shape of a classical-style temple dedicated to Carl von Linné, the botanist who systemised the naming of species. In the summer, it hosts dinners and concerts; it's also possible to reserve the venue for private celebrations. We don't want to downplay any of the marvellous corners of the garden but we reckon that a selfie in the temple, perhaps in the company of a loved one, is a great way to remember forever your day there... and to turn your social media followers green with envy.
