Majorca - Gardens of Alfabia

(Local Name: Jardines d'Alfabia) From Sóller C 711, heading for Palma, climbs to the Coll de Sóller. On the far side of the pass are the gardens of Alfabia, once the country residence of the Moorish Viziers, who, with their skill in irrigation techniques, created these very beautiful gardens, in which date palms, bamboos, lemons and oranges flourish. The house, in Late Baroque style, contains valuable furniture and paintings.
