The art of gardening has flourished in Europe for almost 2000 years and in no other part of the world is there such a rich variety of gardens to be visited. This volume looks specifically at the gardens of Spain and Portugal. Each country is divided into regions with a map to show the major cities and roads, and the location of the gardens. Also included are instructions about how to get there, opening times of the garden and other nearby places of interest.
