Created in 1927 by Russian colonel Nikolai Woevodsky and English aristocrat Dorothy Webster, the gardens feature over 1,000 plant species set against dramatic sea views. The historic castle at the top hosts the prestigious Cap Roig Festival each summer, where international music stars perform in an open-air auditorium with the Mediterranean as a backdrop.
