Parc de Cervantes

The huge sea of roses in bloom that fills Parc de Cervantes from spring till autumn, offers a real spectacle for the senses and is a delight to behold and smell. In the heart of the Zona Universitària, very close to Palau de Pedralbes, Parc de Cervantes invites visitors to enjoy the spectacle of its 10,000 rose bushes, laid out in flower bed.Parc de Cervantes is a large green space filled with lawns and trees that has two entrances: Avinguda Diagonal, which is the main entrance, and a more hidden entrance, via the Ronda de Dalt. Throughout the year it is common to find people jogging or riding bike here, or simply going for a walk and resting on the benches. However, the real show begins with the arrival of spring when its more than 10,000 rose bushes come into bloom and fill the four-hectare park with an array of colours and scents.Classified and divided into carefully arranged flower beds, the ideal way to discover the roses and enjoy their splendour is to take a gentle stroll along the lawns that demarcate them and if you go bear foot, even better. This botanical circuit enables you to travel across four continents and to learn about the difficult art of cultivating roses and surrounded by lush green lawns.
