Algo diferente en Ibiza... La granja de alpacas

Algo diferente en Ibiza... La granja de alpacas

Publicado en enero 05, 2022 in Attractions, Things to do, Winter in Ibiza

Habíamos oído hablar de tanta gente que se dirigía a la granja de alpacas del norte de Ibiza que decidimos dirigirnos allí y verlo por nosotros mismos. Reservar es sencillo pero esencial; un rápido whatsapp al propietario de antemano nos indicó todo lo que necesitábamos saber, incluida la ubicación.

Uno cree que conoce la isla después de vivir aquí durante tantos años, pero aún así consigue sorprenderme. Cuando se atraviesan los caminos rurales desde Santa Eulalia, el tráfico se ralentiza enormemente; este lado de la isla es tan diferente al bullicio de la ciudad de Ibiza. Es realmente donde el tiempo se detiene. Es mágico.

Al entrar en la granja de alpacas nos recibe Denise, que será nuestra guía durante la próxima hora. Nos cuenta la historia de por qué la granja de alpacas llegó a existir en la isla de Ibiza. Nos explica todo con facilidad e incluso con nuestros hijos con nosotros, sus explicaciones tienen la duración perfecta para que se mantengan atentos y activos.

Se está con las alpacas durante una hora y se entra primero en el recinto de los machos donde se puede dar de comer a los animales. Los animales son increíblemente mansos y no hay posibilidad de que te mordisqueen las manos ya que no tienen dientes superiores.

Convencemos a los niños para que den zanahorias a las alpacas, e incluso les ofrecemos una rodaja de manzana sosteniéndola entre nuestros labios para que la tomen. Esto se conoce como el "beso de la alpaca". Inevitablemente, hay muchas oportunidades de hacer fotos con estos hermosos y tranquilos animales.

La visita a esta granja es muy popular, pero las alpacas son siempre la prioridad número uno de la granja. En este momento sólo puede haber cuatro plazas al día para conocer a estas bellezas. Aunque esperan aumentar este número, lo harán lentamente y con el tiempo. El bienestar de las alpacas es siempre su preocupación.

La lana de alpaca es conocida como el oro mullido: más suave que la seda, más rara que la cachemira y más cálida que la lana de oveja. La lana de alpaca tiene muchas propiedades únicas: es hipoalergénica, resistente al fuego y al agua, elástica, antibacteriana y muy resistente. La lana de alpaca también repele el sudor y el polvo, no pica y respira de forma natural gracias a su estructura de fibras huecas.

Wishfulfilling Weaving es una idea de San De Wilde, que emigró de Bélgica a Ibiza a finales de 2018 junto a su marido para construir The Alpaca Farm. San fundó Wishfulfilling Weaving en 2014 y pronto se hizo un nombre con sus hermosas creaciones de tejido, tejidas a mano en un telar de madera tradicional. Sus creaciones de tejido se centran en convertir patrones de tejido centenarios utilizando principalmente lana de alpaca duradera en bufandas exclusivas y ropa de lujo.

La fibra recién esquilada de nuestras alpacas se recoge y se lava a mano. A continuación, las fantásticas fibras se limpian también manualmente mediante la llamada técnica de cardado, tras lo cual se hilan manualmente en hilos listos para ser tejidos según la antigua tradición de hilado. La coloración también se realiza de forma totalmente natural con extractos de flores y plantas, como el ibizco e incluso el aguacate. Nunca a máquina, siempre a mano. Nunca artificial, siempre pura naturaleza.

Gracias a la granja de alpacas Es Currals de Ibiza por su cálida acogida.

Staying at the villa was absolutely lovely! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the views were breathtaking. The spacious rooms were beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. We enjoyed lounging by the pool and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing evenings and game night with the family (games was also provided in the villa). It was a clean, secure, and comfortable place… our family will recommend this Villa to anyone, special mention to Maria she was absolutely amazing and really helpful… as we struggled with ordering taxis if we messaged her, she always responded fast and helped in the best way possible. Overall,…

Stayed in Villa Mali for 5 nights in June and couldn’t have been happier. Such a beautiful villa, in a perfectly quiet location but walking distance from some cute restaurants and the supermarkets so we didn’t need a car. Getting a taxi was easy via the app and was an easy 20-25 minute drive from San Antonio. The facilities in the villa were fab, there was everything we needed to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. I loved the outside area with pool and dining/cooking space. This is the second time we have used Ibiza Summer Villas, their service is excellent and they really take care of you. I’m sure we will be back in one of their accommod…

Our group recently stayed at this villa in Ibiza and had a very enjoyable experience. The location is ideal for a group of young people, offering privacy and a peaceful atmosphere with no direct neighbors. The garden is spacious and well-maintained, providing plenty of room for outdoor activities. We appreciated the quiet surroundings, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time at the villa. Vicky, the host, was accommodating and made sure we had what we needed for a pleasant stay. Her helpfulness added to the overall positive experience. We had a great time at this villa and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and spacious …

Our group of 14 recently spent a week at this incredible villa in Ibiza, and it was perfect for our needs. The villa was spotless and well-maintained, exceeding our expectations in every way. The spacious and comfortable setup made it easy for everyone to enjoy their stay without feeling crowded. The pool area was a standout feature, providing a fantastic spot to relax and soak up the sun for all of us. One small suggestion would be to remind people to pay extra for pool towels like we did. The villa's location was excellent, with reliable taxi services given to us by Ibiza summer villas that made getting around the island effortless thank yo…

We had such a lovely time in Villa Mali with our group of friends. Everything we needed was there. Well maintained garden and pool area. Loved the luxury of an indoor and outdoor kitchen. Good beds. Supermarket within walking distance and located in the lovely area of the nice little village of San jordi. Service from ibiza summer villa very suberb. Clear and quick responding with a very hands-on conciërge service. Would definately book a villa again (or stay again in villa Mali even!!)

Incredible stay at Ibiza summer villas in July. We stayed in Villa Blanca and it is perfect for 10 people (5 couples). 6th bedroom is adjoining another so not as good. Our villa was in great condition. All rooms were spacious and the kitchen was in pristine condition with all utensils. Pool was awesome and there’s a good drinks area too

We stayed at Can Senyora and it was a really beautiful villa in a lovely remote quiet area. We stayed for 4 nights and have enjoyed every second. Great communication from the agency, who were always on hand if we needed anything. The view from the villa and the pool were the highlights for me.
