185 Acres of Spain's Most Beautiful Countryside | Es Raco d’Artà

https://www.oliverstravels.com/index.... Nestled adjacent to the LLevant Natural Park in a serene valley, protected by the mountains and only a stone’s throw from the picturesque village of Artà and the turquoise Mediterranean Sea, Es Racó d’Artà provides a peaceful nest for the exploration of our interconnectedness with nature, conscious living and holistic wellbeing. The finca stretches over 185 hectares of natural land, including beautiful mountains and forests of oak trees, wild olive trees, carob, pines and the odd cypress. The farmed land is home to our 14-hectare ecological vineyard, some 1200 olive trees, 200 different fruit trees, a field of indigenous xeixa, our 2000 m2 organic vegetable garden and the aromatic herbal garden. Es Raco produces their own olive oil and organic xeixa flour. Adding to that, they also engage in beekeeping, which means you will have fresh honey for breakfast. Es Racó welcomes everyone with interest and curiosity in understanding the nature of self and society. Come to explore, experience, discover, feel and express through art, movement, silence, meditation, reflection and rich conversations. We invite you to rest your mind, open your heart, nurture your body and let your spirit guide you. Es Racó d’Artà is not a hotel but a destination for transformation. A place to be inspired by genuine Mallorquin life. A place to allow for the real and authentic to shine through. Visiting Es Racó is not a tale about ‘checking out. It is about ‘checking in’ with self and with others; leaning in, deepening, returning to the body, to our senses, to our humanness, fully embodying life here on earth. At Es Racó, they love and respect the land, and they express it in many ways; one way is through the food they serve. Their dishes are full of love and tradition to nourish us, move us and give us balance. Their gastronomy is seasonal and based on the produce from their garden as well as from local organic produce available from neighbouring fincas on the island. Here at Es Racó, sitting down for a meal is a joyous moment to celebrate our interconnectedness and appreciate the colourful palate the land provides us with. The origins of Mediterranean cuisine go back five thousand years to Mesopotamia, Asia Minor and Egypt. In these places, this rich cuisine began to be cooked or known, especially in the latter, to which we owe the knowledge of beer, the cultivation of wheat and consequently the production of bread, the cultivation of vines, beekeeping, the cultivation of vegetables and lastly, fishing. Discover a unique enclave on the island and watch the stars while you savour a delicious bite of the freshest and most local produce.
