Jardins d'Alfàbia
A garden estate with Moorish-era roots, featuring a fountain-lined walkway, bamboo groves and palms, ideal as a stop on the way to Sóller.
The Jardins d'Alfàbia lie beside the road from Palma to Sóller, near the southern entrance of the Sóller tunnel. The estate's history dates back to the Moorish period, and the garden preserves an irrigation system drawn from Islamic gardens. Its most famous feature is a pergola walkway with thin jets of water constantly spurting from both sides. There are also bamboo groves, palms, a lotus pond and citrus orchards, and the mansion houses antique furniture and a library. Admission is about 8–10 euros. From November to March the garden is generally closed or has shortened hours on weekends. It can only be reached by car or on a tour, and a visit takes about an hour.
Opening hours
Apr–Oct daily 09:30–18:30; shorter in winter (closed on some dates)
