Alfabia Gardens, 'Orange' Tram and Ancient Monastery

What to Expect

Architectural Mosaic and Paradise Gardens of Alfabia Estate
Built during the Arab rule, the estate has undergone many reconstructions over the years, each adding characteristics of different architectural styles: Moorish and Gothic, Baroque and English Rococo. During the tour, you will explore the entire complex, which includes not only the estate but also the luxurious gardens. You will see lush orange and lemon trees, almond and jasmine trees, palms and olive plantations. Stroll among the canals and streams, and encounter beautiful fountains and a pond with lilies.

Dos Soler
You will also visit the historic town of Soler and the nearby Port of Soler. This is a great place for ecotourism enthusiasts. Surrounded by mountains and citrus groves on all sides, the town was rightly called the 'Golden Valley' - that's how its name translates from Arabic. In addition to charming landscapes and authentic blooming streets, you will see a bank built in the modern style, and a 13th-century church combining Baroque, neo-Gothic, and modern elements. In Port de Soller, I will tell you about the pirate times on the island and show you the famous 'orange express' tram, which used to transport oranges to the port grown in the exceptionally fertile local valley.

Lluc Monastery
The tour will end with a visit to the ancient Lluc Monastery. Founded in the 13th century on the site of pagan worship, the monastery has since attracted the attention of many believers. Walking the complex grounds, you will explore the chapel, church, monastery, museum, and gallery; discover the religious value of Lluc, hear the legend of its creation, and enjoy the picturesque mountain landscapes that attract nature-loving outdoor enthusiasts here. Additionally, you can visit a beautiful botanical garden here, showcasing various plant species.
