Jardines de Alfabia

Carretera Palma-Sóller, Sóller, Illes Balears

Description

The Jardines de Alfabia consist of a landscaped garden and a house built in the 15th century (later expanded). The main design features include a pergola with 72 columns, a cistern covered by a half-barrel vault, terraces, palm trees and bamboos. The house incorporates various designs (Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque) and furnished rooms (including a large library) over two floors.

Access & Transport

The gardens are 18km north of Palma, just 6km before Soller along the main road (Ma-11). The Palma-Soller bus No. 211 stops there and the train from Soller nearby in Bunyola.

Instructions & Recommendations

Not that the gardens are closed from November until 01 March

Meta review

The gardens draw good or even very good reviews, depending on taste, but they are generally not qualified as being exceptional in any way, the house either. Instead, they are sometimes described as 'beautiful' or 'nice' but always relatively 'small'. A welcome feature is the shade with plenty of seating area.

Environmental & Social

Mostly environmentally friendly and helps preserve an artistic heritage (the gardens mainly)

Conclusion

The gardens aren't a must see on the island by any mean but for those interested in exploring something else than beaches and churches, they provide an excellent casual alternative with a dash of nature and culture.
