Visit to La Granja in Mallorca
On our way back to Palma, on our day trip to
the North West of Mallorca,Mrs C and I spent
a couple of hours looking round a large country
house called La Granja (which is near Esporlas).
A really beautiful house, set in lush green
surroundings - like a mini-version of Chatsworth.
There's some info about the history of the place
here.
When we arrived there was some traditional
dancing to live music, and there were several
people re-enacting various rural crafts. The
house had a lived-in feel to it...it didn't
feel like the average British stately home
(which often feel like mausoleums to me)...
and it was buzzing with visitors and staff.
So here a few more photos of the place for you.
In tomorrow's post, I'll attach a few flower
photos.

It looks just lovely Justin, hope all is well!!
Yes, I'm fine, BB. Though it's good to have a break away from home at times, it's great to be back to my home comforts & interests, including this computer ... how nerdish is that!
I have a look at your site from time to time .... some very funny stories.
