The Estate<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
The estate<\/span><\/h6><\/div><\/div>

Son Penyaflor is an estate on the side of a mountain where the ruins of Alar\u00f3 Castle stand. Olive, almond and carob trees, pines and holm-oaks grow in its fields. In the orchard you can find fruit trees including lemon, orange, pomegranate, medlar and plum.<\/p>\n

The estate\u2019s origin dates back to the thirteenth century and the current construction is the result of several wise alterations, which, over time, have respected the beauty and sober nature so characteristic of Mallorcan possessions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Son Penyaflor Agrotourism<\/strong> is located in some rooms in the old houses of the estate. The agrotourism area is set aside for accommodation and holding small events and weddings. There is also another garden area (which can be hired as an extra) exclusively for weddings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The Legends<\/span><\/h6><\/div><\/div>

According to the legend, when there is a full moon, the witches of the castle cave fly between the two mountains of Alar\u00f3 and Aucadena. According to another legend, the noble White Beauty from Es Ginebrar married the governor of Alar\u00f3 Castle, despite her father\u2019s curse, \u201cNever will the blood of the loyal mix with that of the traitor; before that happens, the castle crag will crumble into pieces and even the stones will flower\u201d<\/em>. Since then, every year when spring arrives, the violets flower among the stones. The estate is called Son Penyaflor (flower crag) because of this legend.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
