We are Mediterranean and this also means that the aromas and intense flavors of plants are part of our natural culture.
If you are curious you can spend time along the walk to find a long series of plants of all kinds - beans, shrubs or trees - that tell us who are just touching or tasting them. From ruda to lentiscle, many of the park's plants fill the aroma of their pleasant aromas or not.
