Pazo de Oca
« on: July 03, 2012, 06:36:21 PM »
One of the most evocative and romantic gardens I have ever visited is Pazo (Palace) de Oca in Galicia.  Water is one of the most important elements of a garden for me and this most beautiful garden has it in abundance.  It is simply divine.

Alice, if you click on the blue words "Pazo (Palace) de Oca" in Pamela's message you will get a screen-ful of internet photos courtesy of Google. But it would certainly be great to see any that Pamela or any other forum members have!
