Els Calderers is a manor house situated between Vilafranca and Sant Joan. The house was once at the centre of a large wine estate but like so many others in Mallorca, it fell victim to the phylloxera disease. Reopened in 1993, the 18th-century house is now a museum of Mallorcan furniture and traditions.
The house
Over a doorway they have arranged trophies from hunting in the area. I just wanted to take a photo because of the lynx at the top of the doorway. The lynx is the county animal of Hälsingland.
They made walking sticks here.
The maid is preparing the servings for a dinner with guests.
In a room besides the dinner room we heard keyboard musik. We learned that the instrument is a clavichord
Lots of dusty bottles in wine cellar
In a loft they exposed much of the tools that had been used and the products that had been produced here. In the photo hazelnuts.
At the way out they sold a special kind of sausage that is made in this area.
In the field there were sheep grazing, and a few of the almond trees were still in bloom.
