The Marimurtra Botanical Garden has closed 2025 with a total of 235,395 visitors, the highest figure recorded to date, which represents an increase of 18.07% compared to 2024. This record coincides with the conclusion of the Garden’s centenary celebration events, which began in 2024 and have extended throughout 2025 with a wide program of activities aimed at all audiences.
In terms of the origin of visitors, French tourists have been the largest group (16.36%), followed closely by Catalans (16.28%) and Chinese (14.72%). Polish visitors (9.51%) and Germans (6.18%) complete the ranking, which confirms the international nature of the Garden.
Another relevant data from 2025 is the trend towards deseasonalization of visits. Although summer continues to be the season of the year with the highest influx, a notable increase in visits has been detected during the spring and, progressively, also in the autumn.
In 2025, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden has strongly promoted guided tours and school visits. In total, 410 guided tours have been carried out and the Garden has received a total of 3,791 students.
On the other hand, the second edition of the Marimurtríssim Botanical Family Festival -held in May- has been an absolute success in terms of participation and has become an essential event for families looking for an educational, recreational and gastronomic experience in the middle of nature.
In 2025, the Carl Faust Foundation has reinforced its commitment to disseminating and bringing nature closer to society. With this objective, several learning workshops have been given, including those organized at the Fira d’Entitats, at the Setmana de la ciencia and the Marimurtríssim, as well as the Gardening and Gardening Workshop for the Elderly, a new social project by Marimurtra to improve the physical and psychological well-being of retirees, which has been attended by nearly a hundred people over four months.
Finally, 2025 has also been the year of the incorporation of the new scientific director of the Garden. Since September, Doctor of Botany Josep A. Rosselló has been responsible for guiding Marimurtra’s scientific activities, orienting research projects and setting the guidelines for the new Collection Plan.
