Create an itinerary including La Granja de Esporles
Perched in the foothills of the Tramontana mountains, La Granja de Esporles is a working 17th-century farm and estate. The site passed through the hands of the Romans, Moors, feudal Christians, and the Cisterian monks before its acquisition by its current owners, the Fortuny family. Today, it exists as a living museum of traditional Mallorcan culture and craftsmanship. Inside, you will find carefully preserved antique furnishings and craftsmen at work in trades such as blacksmithing, Spanish grasswork, and tanning. A stroll through the gardens reveals elm trees, fragrant rosemary, a 9.1 m (30 ft) natural spring, and local animals like the Mallorca goat and black pig. Don't forget to sample the traditional Mallorcan fig bread, bunnelos, and fig and apricot jams made on site.

  • In a nutshell: this is an interesting day out but the museum is overpriced and ultimately disappointing for lack of curation and maintenance. The setting of course is beautiful - as much of...

  • Visit with insight in life in a bygone era in this area but of an affluent family. Interesting collection of puppets - a bit grim. Overall though thought the whole place seemed a bit neglected and...

  • Beautiful old villa, that worked a little like a tiny community in the past. Lots of old equipment, beautifully decorated rooms and a huge garden you can roam freely in. Don't touch the displayed items, now you can still look at them closely though which is very interesting. You can also get something to drink or eat after you're done at the restaurant at the entrance, also has lots of toilet facilities. If you come early in the morning it's nice and quiet, not a lot of other tourists.
  • Take a trip to rural Majorca. You will not regret the visit to La Granja. It has beautiful history created around the waterfall that gave power to this region. You see all the occupations the locals used to have at the museum as well as beautiful gardens around. The shop sells the perfume which is made of almond flowers. Read about it's history at the perfume making room.
  • one of the most amazing museums i have ever seen. there was no people when we visited and it was july. everything is authentic and beautiful. best day ever
  • It was beautiful. The grounds were stunning and the exhibits fascinating. The tasting was far more extensive than expected. We thought the preserves and honey etc might be over priced but were comparable to Soller, our next stop.
  • A vast, diverse and varied walking experience. Suitable for many kinds of outings from an aimless wander or a cake and coffee pitstop to a historical walking tour. Entrance to the entire place is paid but access to the cafe is free. Cafe food and drinks vary in quality (e.g. Chocolate milkshake was just a bottle of laccao chocolate milk, whereas the hamburger was freshly prepared and really tasty.) Overall, well impressed with all of the Granja's impressive features and history.
