Located at the end of Cape Roig, a promontory on the coast of Calella de Palafrugell very well-know by its reddish rock, this botanical garden is one of the most important in the Mediterranean. It was created by the marriage Woevodsky (a couple composed by a former exiled Russian colonel and an English aristocrat lady) in 1928 and together they created this lush orchard containing a wide variety of Mediterranean, tropical and subtropical plants. During the months of July and August this garden is the scenario of one of the most prestigious festivals in the Costa Brava.

Cala Estreta Hut, located on the cove, has its origins, at least, in the sixteenth century, when it is documented in a letter found in Villaromà Castle as belonging to its owner, Bernat Simon. The present building, recently remodeled, could be rather from the nineteenth century, and it is a living proof of an era in which human beings lived facing the sea, using their own resources for survival respectfully.
