On medical advice, he made a trip to the Mediterranean and fell absolutely in love with Majorca. And as Ludwig, with an annual allowance of one hundred crowns, is not a careless pauper, the twenty-five-year-old begins to acquire property on his favourite island in 1872. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he owns a sixteen-kilometre stretch of coastline on the northwest coast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fincasmallorcacharme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fincasmallorcacharme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fincasmallorcacharme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_views_of_Son_Marroig\">The views of Son Marroig<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you enter the Son Marroig estate, you can enjoy what is perhaps the best-known panoramic view in the whole of Mallorca. Luis Salvador had a small temple of Carrara marble built on a rocky outcrop. The view over the crystal blue Mediterranean is like something from another planet. The view from the loggia of the manor house, a panoramic Renaissance-style roof terrace, loyal to Ludwig&#8217;s Florentine origins, is equally incredible. When your gaze moves from there to the blue, there is only one conclusion: Ludwig Salvator must have been a very happy man.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fincasmallorcacharme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fincasmallorcacharme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fincasmallorcacharme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_legacy_of_a_legend\">The legacy of a legend<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Among Mallorcans, the Archduke is legendary: his love affairs, his sympathy for art and people, his unusual appearance are the source of numerous anecdotes. Ludwig was an explorer of the Balearic Islands and perhaps the first conservationist. You can get an idea of the extent of his interests and talents at Son Marroig. Here, display cases show the more than fifty books the Archduke wrote. You can visit his modest bedroom with its beautiful canopied bed carved from oak and admire his nautical instruments, maps, photographs and documents. He was not a monarch, but rather an aesthete, artist and bon vivant: Diogenes of princely lineage, as he was called. To end your visit, we recommend an excursion to the well-known rock of &#8220;Sa Foradada&#8221; near Son Marroig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archduke Ludwig Salvator was a scholar, an eccentric, an art lover and, above all, a man devoted to the Balearic Islands, and to Mallorca in particular, throughout his life.
