Things to do in Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands: The Best Gardens
The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

What a great place to visit. Everything seemed so mysterious. We were here in the autumn so there was not so many people around and it was quite warm - perfect for visiting this site.

Let's face it Palma city can be hot during the summer months but the emphasis is on it being a place for people to enjoy. There are many secluded seating areas dotted around but this has to rate as the most beautiful one of all. With fountains and pergolas as well as plentiful stone benches to sit and relax on it is easy to forget that you are a few paces away from the major shopping areas. Enjoy.
4. Jardines de Alfabia

This property is going to be closed during the period of November 1st until February 28th. Alfabia, originally the residence of the Moorish viceroy of Majorca , Ben - Abet, who ordered to make the mudejar celling in 1220, lies on the southern slope of the Coll de Soller. The house and the garden combine an area of outstanding beauty and have been declared by the goverment a cultural monument in 1954. The murmur of the water is a constant backdrop to the whole walk. Inside the house, worthy to mention "el llibre de ses franqueses" given by the King Jaume I in 1246 to Majorca and the gothic chair, hand made in Flanders at the end of XV century.

We stumbled on this wonderful oasis when driving from Soller towards Palma, exactly at the southern end of the long road tunnel, so luckily! A garden of sublime beauty and tranquillity (with a very decent cafe) and an equally stylish grand house. You need about an hour, or why not stay longer - no way you would regret it!

We have lived here 20 years & have never heard of this place. We met the owner (& sole gardener) Juan today. He has been open 32 years. This place is huge. The largest garden of its kind in Europe. We spent 3 hours (curtailed by a huge thunder storm) in the Mallorcan Garden, the desert (v impressive) & the lake. There are bamboo gardens to walk through too & for most of the day we were on our own. We learnt about plants, habitats & brushed up on Latin. I reccomend this place wholeheartedly. There is so much love here & the workis phenomenal. All the work of the owner & his dad. Do go, I'm sure you won't regret it.
