After talking that much about Arab influence on the Balearic Island, especially in Majorca, I’ll talk today about something that’s very much alike. I always said that a new place can be discovered only by pure interaction both with the locals and with the place itself, in its key points.

Having this in mind, you cannot pass through Majorca without seeing one of the most important architecture details that it has: the Majorcan gardens. They are a “vivid” remain of the previous centuries. These amazing gardens are also known as patiosin Palma. They are one of the most characteristic elements of whole Palma.

You’ll immediately recognize them because of having those silent corners through which the light casts illuminating monumental staircases, palm trees, pots or the typical Majorcan wells. You will have to find someone who wants to show you his own patio, because many are private and are therefore inaccessible to the public.

Don’t worry about that, because you can inform yourself at the tourist office to find out if, on the days you visit Palma, there are guided tours that allow you access to private patios. If there are not any, there will continue to be many patios to see in Palma, taking into account that there are more than sixty!

As a personal recommendation, two of the most beautiful and characteristic patiosthat can always be seen are Casal Solleric, at number 27 on Paseo del Borne, and Can Vivot, at number 4 on Can Savellàstreet.

Without any doubt, there are many more, so do not stop browsing after all the gates you find along the way. Keep looking!
