Sama Park is a gorgeous botanical garden from the old colonial days. Originally, the park was built as a summer residence by Salvador Samà, Marquis of Marianao in 1881, between Cambrils and Montbrió, surrounded by vineyards, olive and almond trees. In a sense, the park also bears the legacy of an ‘Indiano’, a fusion of styles and a delight for the senses, making it a fascinating and insightful look at Spanish architecture.

It is a tribute to beauty, a landscape with memory, nostalgia for other places and times, and mixes styles from all across the world, such as the Cuba of Spain, the symmetrical France and the romantic England, the quiet Asia and the classical Greece. Get lost in sheer creativity in design here.
