Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden

One of the least-known green spaces in Rota, with plants from different parts of the world. A calm outing for all ages.

What it is

A journey through plants

The Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden gathers species from half the world in the middle of Rota.

It is a good place to walk slowly, learn how to look at plants and understand the part they play in everyday life. A green, quiet space, suitable for the whole family.

In the episode of «Más allá del mar» devoted to the garden, Andrés Barba visits it with Andrés Aguilera, an officer in the Environment Department at Rota Town Council, who shows some of its most unusual species.
