Discover the secrets of the carob tree, its varieties, its cultivation and the uses of its fruit, the carob.
Carob trees were very important in the rural past of Llucmajor. Although livestock farming — one of the main markets for its production — declined considerably over time, cultivation endured and today it is also being directed towards new and surprising uses.
At the Ca s’Hereu estate, near the town of Llucmajor, they will show you the cultivation process and many other curiosities about this tree typical of the Mediterranean basin. You will also be able to taste some of the products derived from the carob. At Carrer de la Marina no. 107 in the same town, they have a shop selling products made from this fruit. You can get in touch to arrange visits and experiences through their website
