Geographical origin

Es Rafal de Planícia is an estate in the municipality of Banyalbufar, in the west of the island of Mallorca in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, which have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It covers 55 hectares and the estate’s distinctive features include its dry-stone terraces with olive trees that date back centuries growing on them, adapted to the mountainous landscape and its Mediterranean light, which colours an idyllic landscape with the sea and the mountains.

Botanical origin

The flora of Es Rafal de Planícia is of particular botanical interest from a beekeeping perspective, with a wide variety of plant communities and a wealth of flora including native plants such as foxglove (Digitalis minor). From the beekeeping point of view, its large oak grove (Quercus ilex) that climbs up the mountain stands out, the carob trees (Ceratonia siliqua) very characteristic of the Mediterranean climate, the albons (Asphodelus spp.), white steppes (Cistus albidus), steppes lemongrass (Cistus monspeliensis), asparagus (Asparagus spp.), cypress (Erica multiflora), arboretums (Arbutus unedo) and other species accompanying the dominant flowering such as ivy (Hedera helix) and myrtles (Myrtus communis).
