Parc Samà Cambrils
Parc Samà, 14 hectares long, is the modernist, historical and botanical garden of Cambrils, Costa Dorada, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest.
It was promoted by Salvador Samà i Torrens, Marquis of Marianao - heir to a Catalan family living in Cuba, who in 1881 commissioned the design to Josep Fontserè (author of the Ciudadela Park in Barcelona) and helped by Antoni Gaudí, thus recovering the exotic and colonial atmosphere of colonial Cuba. It is considered one of the best examples of romantic gardening of the 19th century.
In Samà Park…
You will experience emotions in contact with nature: the sound of water, aromas of lavender, mandarin, eucalyptus and pine, all shades of green. You will discover collections of fauna and botany and with your visit you will support conservation projects for pheasants, psittacines, fallow deer, turtles and the omnipresent peacocks that move freely through the garden. Samà Park is lakes, waterfalls and bridges, forest, orchard and garden... and you can get lost in the Fontcuberta greenhouse.
You will learn the history of the Marquisate of Marianao: memories of another time and place. Parc Samà is a round trip, emigration and return. Make the Americas. Come back and leave the legacy. Other trees, other birds, other dresses and colors, other arts... Adventure, culture and wealth.
You will discover the relationship between modernism and nature with the help of the master Josep Fontseré and his disciple Antoni Gaudí: a place from which to understand the exceptionality and inspiration of the work of this universal Catalan. Grottoes, walkways and benches that evoke rocks, sea snails and branches... It is the beginning of modernism and Antoni Gaudí's profession.
You will be able to taste the Yzaguirre vermouth in the old winery of the park recovered as an experiential museum of the world of vermouth and you will also be able to discover the Mas del Miu, also recovered and converted into an oil museum.
And above all, you will relax in a unique natural environment that continues to preserve all its magic and authenticity that is difficult to find in today's world.
