A Surprising Garden! This place is the creation of an extravagant character: Vicente Blasco Ibanez, a politician and writer, bought a property called Fontana Rosa in the heart of Garavan.
In this garden, he patiently recreated a corner of his native Valencia: historiated ceramic tiles, pergolas, basins and brightly decorated planters...
Pass through the heavy gate surmounted by a molded pediment and enter this garden designed as a reading space dedicated to the great masters of literature. Embellished with Spanish and Mentonese ceramics, this garden has been a listed historic monument since 1990, preserving species such as Ficus macrophylla, palms, banana trees, Araucaria heterophylla and porticoes of fragrant roses. Marvel at this garden like no other!
Meeting point directly on site, Ave Blasco Ibañez, in front of the garden entrance.
