The Jardins d`Alfabia are one of the most beautiful gardens of Mallorca. They are located on an estate that was originally a Muslim residence of a Moor known as Ben Abet.
The pleasures of the gardens are made possible by a spring that always flows, even in the driest of summers in this very arid land.
The inner courtyard of the hacienda
with a cherub fountain and large, sprawling plane tree.
The terraced cascade:
palm-fringed stairway left of the gatehouse
to a wall-mounted well and - right of it - to a magic cistern.
The stony well guard.
Well roar'd Lion.
The Alfabia cistern - a magic interplay of water and sun, light and shadow.
The trick fountains garden.
Press the button and get wet.
Bougainvillea - fireworks in purple.
An extraordinary range of trees flourishes in the gardens, including white fir, maple, cedar of Lebanon, Monterey cypress, poplar, date palm, holm oak, carob, lemon, orange, magnolia, walnut, eucalyptus, olive and acacia.
