Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo, also called Jardín Canario, is the largest botanical garden in Spain. It is not far from the island's capital. The area covers as much as ten hectares and there are as many as 500 diverse Canarian plant species to admire: from cacti to agave.
The park was designed in the 1950s by Swedish-Spanish botanist Erik Stevenson. The garden is an important site for scientific research.
Our Tip:
- Put on sturdy shoes as some trails are not flat.
