Day Trip: La Granja

La Granja was built a super long time ago (sorry, I forgot when) by the Moors when they controlled Spain. In 1239, it was given to monks to found a monastery. Then, it passed through the hands of several families and is now owned by Cristòfol Seguí Colom. Throughout all this time, it wasn't anything special. It was really just a family's livelihood, but now it's a part of Mallorcan history. La Granja was definitely my favorite part of the trip. It has been well preserved and I can appreciate the history behind it more.

Cute shop...with free samples : )

Game room

Audience of dolls

The bird flew off and never came back. Poor fella.

Some sort of homage to the Inquisition
