Fonte Baxa Garden Guided Tour
Fonte Baxa Garden Guided Tour
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Fonte Baxa Garden to begin a guided tour through this forest of Luarca. We'll see camellias, rhododendrons, holly, yews, birches, cedars, chestnut trees, and many other plant species!
Are you ready to explore one of the largest private botanical gardens in Europe? We'll tell you about its history and interesting facts about the life of its owner and founder, the Marquis of San Nicolás de Noras, José Rivera y Larraya.
During the guided tour of the Fonte Baxa Garden, we'll visit the most iconic points of this garden that houses plants from all over the world. A unique journey that'll take you from Spain to places like Japan or Lebanon!
We'll also come across several works of art that decorate the garden, from a fountain that belonged to the House of Alba, to Roman columns, to the portico of a convent. It'll be fascinating!
Finally, after a 2-2.5 hour tour, we'll say goodbye back at the starting point.
