DISCOVER ELS CALDERERS

Discover one of the most stunning possessions of Mallorca.

The possessions are agricultural and livestock farms. It were managed by the amo, an important person in the organization of the possessions, he was the administrator – tenant and responsible for their production, as well as the staff who worked on the farm; in exchange, he had to pay an annual rent to the senyor or lord (the owner of the estate and he was always from a noble family).

The lands of Els Calderers were dedicated to the cultivation of the vineyard and also to wheat, fruit trees, chickpeas, carob beans, beans, almonds, corn and, of course, the porc negre (black pig).

The visit to the house passes through the different rooms of the house, do not be fooled by its austere exterior, since its interior is highly ornamental with furniture and Majorcan painting.

We will visit the large fireplace room to receive visits, the chapel, the cellar where we can taste a sweet wine.
