Artestruz
About
When in Mallorca, Artestruz is the local business that sits along Ma-6014, km 40, 07630 Campos, Illes Balears, on the island's southern side. The venue is known for its ostrich farm, where visitors meet the birds up close and learn how they are kept and fed. Campos lies inland from the coast, a short drive from the beach resorts that ring the island.
First-time visitors should expect a working farm rather than a zoo, with guided tours that put the ostriches at the centre of the visit. The farm also produces ostrich meat and leather goods, which are sold on site, giving the trip a practical edge alongside the animal encounters. A rating of 4.8 out of 5, gathered from 1091 reviews, places it among the most reviewed attractions in the Campos area. Groups and families make up much of the traffic, and the farm runs its tours through the middle of the day.
Artestruz opens Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00-16:00, so Monday and Tuesday are the quiet days to plan around. Five photos give a preview of the birds and the farm buildings. The website at http://www.artestruzmallorca.com/ carries the booking details.
Mallorca sits in the Balearic Islands, where summers are hot and dry and winters stay mild, with June to September the busiest stretch. Food on the island leans on fresh seafood, sobrasada sausage and ensaimada pastries, with local wines from island vineyards. Flights from across Europe and ferries from mainland Spain bring visitors in, and Spanish and Catalan are the everyday languages. Palma, Alcúdia and Cala d'Or are among the resorts within reach of the farm, so it fits into a wider island itinerary.
