Jardines de Alfabia
Mallorca
Well worth a visit, the Alfàbia estate dates back to the times of the Moorish occupation and today's gardens owe much to the ingenious landscaping and water management techniques of those early occupants.
Located near the entrance to the Soller tunnel, just a few kilometres from Palma de Mallorca, the buildings and gardens are a fascinating time capsule of the various occupants over the past 10 centuries or so. The buildings contain features of Arabic, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Roman, Rococo and even English styles, while the harmonious and restful gardens are mainly traced to the 18th and 19th century.
Peace, tranquility, and beauty all around - just the place for a lazy, sunny afternoon!
Closed on Sundays and from 1 to 31 December. Bus route 211 between Palma and Port de Soller, or personal transport.
