As an international melting pot, Mallorca is ideally placed to play a pioneering role. Some progressive Mallorcan farmers have recognized the market potential and are offering garden plots (allotments), in addition to producing food for their organic food shops. One example is the visually beautiful allotment maze of eco-farm <strong>Biogranja La Real<\/strong> near Monastery Secar de La Real in the vicinity of Establiments (Palma).<br \/>\nEach of the garden plots measures 4.5 square meters. Forty-three little patches are laid out neatly and uniformly against the silhouette of the monastery. In the soil of each allotment stands a sign, bearing the name of the tenant. Many Spaniards as well as British and Germans, are among the gardening enthusiasts. The monthly rent per parcel is \u20ac50 which includes gardening and plant seeding based on an annual rental contract.<br \/>\nThe company La Real Biogranja S.L. is run by three members: Manuel \u201cManino\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez, Joan Aguil\u00f3 and Carlos Velasco. The agricultural land surrounding the gardens belongs to the family of Joan Aguil\u00f3, who is also dedicated to the raising of livestock, horses, and crops. In the rooms of the organic farm Yoga classes as well as organic cooking classes and nutrition seminars are held. The buildings, which date from the 13th to 17th centuries, also house an art gallery, run by Joan\u2019s sister Victoria. But also for children it&#8217;s a great location - in the teaching garden the children learn about organic farming and you can also celebrate children&#8217;s birthdays with a petting zoo in the Biogranja la Real. The on-site shop offers everything your \u201eorganic-heart\u201c desires: packaged goods from renowned organic companies, herbs, beverages, cosmetics, detergents as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biogranja La Real<\/strong><br \/>\nSecar de la Real (behind Palmaplanas Hospital)<br \/>\nTel: +34 971 254 195<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biogranjalareal.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.biogranjalareal.com<\/a><br \/>\nOpening hours:<br \/>\nMonday \u2013 Saturday, 10.00 \u2013 20.00 h<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The concept of allotment gardening (in spanish\u201cMini Huertos\u201d) is little-known on Mallorca, but this form of leisure activity is growing &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":80945,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[995,993],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-80947","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-culture","8":"category-magazin-en"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.privatepropertymallorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
