This leisure tour highlights the spectacular scenery of Majorca and offers the opportunity to taste local specialties. Leaving the port, you’ll embark on a scenic drive with views of landscapes of pine forests and groves of almond and olive trees, beautiful villages and more. There will be a stop to take in the magnificent views and snap some memorable pictures.
Your final destination and highlight is the magnificent estate of Els Calderers, surrounded by beautiful fountains and lush formal gardens where seasonal flowers abound. This superb 18th century Majorcan manor was built by a noble family on the site of a 12th century farm belonging to the Calderer Family. You’ll have time to explore on your own the grounds and interior of the house, now a museum illustrating the home-life of two centuries ago. Also, explore the exterior of the museum, where you will see farm animals of native breeds, such as the Mallorcan black pig. This pig is used to make the delicious sobrasada (a cured raw sausage), which you will taste together with a sampling of local wine. Afterward, you’ll return to your ship with a stop to the local pearl factory to learn about Mallorca pearls, where you will also have time to browse and perhaps make a purchase.
