Hidden gardens
Beyond the headline parks, the city is threaded with pocket gardens that never appear on an itinerary.
Jardins de la Tamarita
A former private estate garden in the upper city, formal and intimate, with hardly ever a camera in sight.
Palau de les Heures
Terraced ornamental gardens climbing the hillside on the mountain's northern slope, quiet even in August.
Jardins del Teatre Grec
A Greek-style theatre cut into the hillside and the gardens around it, which only fill up during the summer festival.
