One of the oldest glass factories in Mallorca is situated here in Algaida, namely the glass factory of Gordiola.

You can look forward to a guided tour in the factory to learn about the art of glass blowing, and see how pieces are made from the bottom. There is a great museum exhibiting some of the more spectacular pieces that will surely impress you. The Gordiole factory is situated on the main road between Algaida and Palma, in a beautiful castle shaped building.

Algaida is a typical rural area found in the most southern part of the region called “Pla de Mallorca”, a place where agricultural traditions are still commemorated in the local spirit. Algaida is, however, also a place of great diversity, both in its landscapes and when it comes to the things you can do here. There are a bunch of local points of interest to see such as the parish church of Sant Pere i Sant Pau, the old stone crosses in the streets, the famous Cura sanctuary, the Xina windmill and the medieval chapel of Castellitx built immediately after the Catalan conquest of the island. But there is also the famous Gordiola glass factory and the Modelmon interior design showroom. Algaida also celebrates its traditions several times a year with entertaining festivals in the town, absolutely worth attending for a cultural input.
