The site is 25 hectares with 16 hectares open to the general public. There is over 30000 plants to see and enjoy and at only €2.90 per adult and free for children under 12 years old, it seemed like another cheap and easy day out!
We were given a brochure in English which included maps and recommended walking routes. The gardens are split into four themed areas. There are plenty of picnic spots, indoor exhibitions, items of interest along the way and a childrens forest (tick in the box for Shanna!).
Off we went to the Plant Factory. This is set out to show the plants we use for food, medicine, textiles etc as well as invasive and unwanted plants - weeds.
There is also a typical Asturian farmhouse with a mill, sidre press and stables.
Pomegrantes.
Quinoa.
An educational video in the Chemists Workshop.
We met a few creatures along the way too!
We definitely recommend visiting. Another good day out had by The Bell's.
Hasta luego!
