It dates back to 1253, but has morphed through the ages. 60% of it was destroyed during WWII after which many of the buildings were restored to their original states, which had dramatically changed through the centuries.
My visit to Parc de les Olars ("Aroma Park" in English) in Montseny Natural Park was like that. I didn't realize how little I knew about herbs and knew even less of what to expect at a visit to an "Aroma Park", let alone how many health benefits are waiting for you in a herb garden!
That's despite the fact that it's considered to be one of the most beautiful and oldest in all of Eastern Europe. Not to mention that it was situated on a major trading route! After my four day visit, I can't believe how little I knew about what has quickly become one of my favourite cities in Europe.
