Majorca´s old palaces and manors are really wonderful for the
eyes of architects and lover of tasteful Ambientes. Today we walk by
the building Els Calderers in the municipality of San Juan.
Already from the broad entrance you´ll see a cultivated garden with
a decorative fountain and a sundial. The rooms and halls go out from the
entrance hall and fascinate with their clear and simple line, however,
with tasteful arrangements. To give an impression of the solid life, here
a young Majorcan woman in the national costume of the island. Furniture
with valuable carvings, chairs and armchairs with high-quality material
give you a small impression of the wealth which was acquired by the squires.
In a lot of manors of Majorca and in Els Calderers as well, there is a
chapel for the services in the familiar circle. This chapel was consecrated
by the bishop of Majorca. The altar is made from marble, the ornaments
are gilded. In the cellar spaces of the manor house caskets are filled
with the wine from own vineyards. Already in bottles the best wines of
Els Calderers. The copper kettles which were used by the cellarman to
work are still in good condition.
Then we go up in the first floor. There is the big hall decorated with
sandstone. Portraits about the desk complete the hall which was used
at the same time as a workroom. For familiar parties the big table with
place for 18 guests already covered with fine china. Coming from the
main building, the way leads us in the perfectly furnished workroom
in which not only the tools are to be seen for the farm work but also
the glasses with home-made marmalade and the real Majorcan tomatoes.
On the manor Els Calderers in the municipality San Juan the time seems
to have stopped. Everything is perfect, so as if the squire emerged constantly
again and walk by his broadminded halls.
