After some morning playtime at the casa, we set off for a big sightseeing day. We visited the Jardins d'Alfàbia, Soller, and the Port of Soller.
The Jardins d'Alfàbia is a former estate in the mountains with lush grounds. The kids loved the trellised walkway that had waterworks controlled by a button and the fresh-squeezed orange and lemon juice, no matter how tart.

| One of the owners of the estate took a nice family photo for us. She was very pleased we'd come to visit. |
Then it was a short drive to the mountain town of Soller. It was so busy there! The crowds were a bit shocking, but we were told Easter week is prime tourist time on the island. We stopped for lunch on the plaza facing the cathedral where the wait staff could not have been kinder. Lunchtime sangria in Spain cannot be beat. After lunch, we boarded the historic cable car for the 20-minute ride down to the beach at the Port de Soller
 |
| Some treats (Soller oranges sorbet!) and a short time at the beach before catching the cable car back and continuing our drive home. |

| Oma and Opa stayed in with the kids so Pete and I could have a date night in town. |
