The La Granja Museum is on the outskirts of the town of Esporles. It is an excellent excursion as a couple or as a family, and it can be combined with a visit to the nearby town of Valldemossa, or even with a hiking route in the surroundings.
La Granja is an old stately mansion, whose history begins in Arab times. The current property is the result of various eras and vicissitudes, in a mixture of stately and rustic style. In addition to being used as a residence, it was also a "possessió" dedicated to agricultural production, with more than a hundred craftsmen in its heyday. This gives it the inexplicable charm of a well-preserved old building - maintaining its own dignified style - but which at the same time also has essential elements of our rich cultural past. Today La Granja is open to the public and houses an ethnographic museum and a varied display of typical farm animals.
The visit to the museum of La Granja de Esporles is interactive and you will be able to take a tour of different rooms, areas of traditional agricultural activities, the palatial suite, the courtyards and the emblematic gardens of the possession.
La Granja de Esporles Customer Reviews
Is La Granja still open in 2024?
Lovely old mallorcan manor house, it's a little out of the way but well worth the visit. Entry includes a tasting session where you can try the local produce which is very good. The house and gardens are a lovely walk and give a lovely look back into mallorcan history
Went on a recommendation. Beautifully located old country estate about 30 minutes drive from Palma. Fascinating tour through the house and grounds giving an insight in to how an old estate was run and life in the past. Loads to see and of huge interest if you like history. Self guided tour ends with a chance to sample local wine and some local produced snacks which were really nice. Pleasant little cafe. I'd probably not recommend for small children. I think they'd be easily bored although there are a few animals such as goats and donkeys to admire.
La Granja is an idyllic location just outside the village of Esporles. The gardens are really nice and the house is a unique piece of Mallorquin history. We worth a visit.
Typical Mallorcan house where you can see typical costumes, old trades and even there are animals. It's place is very nice, in the middle of the mountains
We made a round trip at La Granja in Esporles. A really beautiful and authentic place. It's a beautiful area hidden in a quiet location of Mallorca. You should go there if you want to relax and enjoy a wonderful landscape far away from the hustle and bustle of Mallorca. Beautiful and exciting half day excursion.I would really recommend to get your tickets here.
We enjoyed our visit to La Granja during our recent holiday in Mallorca. We particularly enjoyed the trip up the winding mountain road. The museum was wonderful, lots to see and learn. We couldn't believe how many industries were involved! Potters, lace makers, candle makers, perfumery, carpenters, smithies, etc etc. would definitely recommend a visit.
