A garden that is a challenge to get to creates a sense of anticipation and heightened awareness at the final arrival, and negotiating the narrow lanes of the wooded valleys south of San Sebasti\u00e1n in the Spanish Basque Country to reach this particular garden certainly generates a sense of intrigue. There is so much that is familiar \u2013 the oaks and the surrounding hills mean this garden could easily be in Wales<\/a> \u2013 and an initial overview of the plant selection is reminiscent of many a British garden. But, here it is as if someone has taken a range of familiar plants and arranged them in a way that is completely new. It is quite extraordinarily refreshing, and, one of the most stimulating gardens I have ever set foot in.<\/p>
