Jardins de Santa Clotilde
An Italian-style terraced garden on the cliffs at Lloret de Mar, with cypresses, ivy-covered steps and a bronze mermaid statue facing the Mediterranean.
The garden was designed in 1919 by the Catalan landscape architect Nicolau Rubió i Tudurí in the 'Noucentisme' style, drawing on Italian Renaissance gardens. Ivy-covered steps, cypress avenues, fountains and a bronze mermaid statue lead down in tiers to the cliff edge. It is a small garden, and you can see it in about an hour. Admission is about 5 euros. It lies on the eastern side of the busy resort town of Lloret de Mar and can be combined with a visit to the old town of Tossa de Mar on the same day.
