How much is admission to the Alfàbia Gardens and what time does it close?
According to the official website admission costs €10 (residents of Mallorca €5, children under 12 free). The garden is open daily 9:30-18:30 from 14 February to 31 October, with last entry at 17:30. Outside this period it is closed.
How do I get to the Alfàbia Gardens and where do I park?
The gardens lie on the Palma - Sóller road at km 17, just before the tunnel, and have a large car park on the right-hand side of the road. From Palma it is about 20 minutes by car. Without a car: TIB buses to Bunyola (205, 303) or the Tren de Sóller; check the distance from the station to the entrance before you go.
How long should I allow for the Alfàbia Gardens?
Turismepetit gives about 90 minutes for a visit, with the pergola with 24 fountains, the library of over 2,000 volumes and the garden. The fountains spurt jets every 15 minutes, so it is worth timing your visit around that.
When are the Alfàbia Gardens least crowded?
Editorial assessment, not measured: just after opening at 9:30 and in the late afternoon. The season runs only from 14 February to 31 October, so the most people come in high summer.

What is the Binissalem DO and what makes it special?
It is a denominación de origen for wines from around Binissalem, covered by rules from 1991; it covers about 600 hectares in five municipalities. The first vintage was harvested in 1990.
How many bodegas are there in the Binissalem DO?

When is the best time to visit the vineyards?
In September during the Festa des Vermar grape harvest festival in Binissalem, or in spring and autumn for tastings at the bodegas; in summer the heat makes visiting the vineyards difficult during the day.

How do I get to Cabrera?
By a group boat trip from Colònia de Sant Jordi (or Porto Petro), or in your own boat. The park lies about 10 nautical miles from the port. Book ahead with an authorised operator; MITECO says boat trips do not require a separate passenger permit, while the CAIB website says group transport requires a park permit, so confirm this with the organiser.

Mooring in Cabrera harbour also requires the permission of the Gobierno Militar, and diving requires qualifications.

How high is Puig Major?
The height usually given is 1,445 m above sea level (the Puig Major article and the Spanish Wikipedia). The English article on the Serra de Tramuntana gives 1,436 m, so the sources disagree; use 1,445 m.
What is the dome on top of Puig Major?
It is a radar. The former US military base on 6.2 ha was built in 1957-1959 and operated until 1993; the two orange radar domes were replaced by one larger one in 2005.
Where is the best place to see Puig Major from?
Earlier research pointed to the Ma-10 and the area around Sa Calobra, but this was not confirmed at the time of our check.

Where does Quely come from and how old is it?
From Inca; according to the firm's tradition the history goes back to 1853, and the current factory was built in the 1930s and 1940s. The data are based on sources linked to the firm, so treat the 1853 date with caution.
Where can I buy Quely biscuits and are they a good gift?

What else is there in Inca?
Every year in November the Dijous Bo fair takes place, the biggest on the island.

The palace stands in the centre of Palma, opposite the cathedral, so take a bus to the Intermodal station or to the centre and walk. Leave the car outside the strict centre, because the old town has paid ORA and ACIRE zones.
When is the Almudaina Palace least crowded?
Editorial assessment, not measured: weekday mornings. The free afternoons on Wednesdays and Sundays may attract more visitors.
