Algaida This little town almost in the middle of the island is an ideal place to base yourself for touring around the island and only 20 minutes from Palma. A very traditional Mallorcan village which includes an interesting glass museum. It also houses a workshop which provides demonstrations of glass blowing. Artá Artá
is famous for its embroidery and although less well known, the Artá
caves, which can be discovered either on foot or by boat in the summer
and the prehistoric town of Ses Paisses. Also nearby is the fortified
tower of Canyabel and Capdepera Castle, both built in the 13th Century.
Nature lovers will be interested to know that the district of Capdepera has an extensive Protected Nature Area, and part of this area can only be visited on foot or bicycle, as motorised vehicles are strictly prohibited. Also many of the beaches along the coastline have been awarded Blue Flags, symbols of clean sand and unpolluted sea-water. For those golf enthusiasts this is an ideal base with four wonderful courses nearby; Rocaviva, Sera de Pula, Canyamel and Costa de los Pinos.
The centre of the island's wine industry, Binissalem is a delightful old town with narrow streets housing mansions dating from the17th & 18th Centuries. The pretty main square (Plaza Isglesia) dominated by its church Eglesia Nostra Senyora de Robines, is aplace to sit and watch the world go by. A time not to miss in Binissalem is the third week of July in which weeklong festivities precede the Saints Day of St.James. If you miss this, then another festival worth coming out to is Fiesta de's Vermar (Festival of the Grape Harvest), which takes place on the last Sunday in September. Santa Maria Just 20 minutes drive from Palma you will find this delightful little town. Within the town a stop should be made at the convent of Los Minimos, the church and the Town Hall where there is a marvellous gothic altar. This area produces almond milk, wines, pottery and 'robes de llengues' which literally means cloth of tongues - lengths of hand weaved material in cotton and linen. Close by to Binissalem and Alaro. Calvía
Sóller The land of Orange and Lemon groves. Situated in the valley of the same name with a backdrop of the highest mountains on the island. Sóller can be very easily reached by means of the tunnel taking just 20 minutes from Palma or if you prefer to take a more leisurely and picturesque journey, go by the only private train in existence in the whole of Spain. The hour-long journey by this charming wooden train joins Sóller with the capital, Palma. Don't make the same mistake that many people make and head straight for the port of Sóller. Instead, go to the town itself about 4 kilometres inland, it has so much to offer. The beautiful convent of Sant Francesc, the 14th Century neogothic church of San Bartomeu, and certainly the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences and the Botanical Gardens where you can see more than 125 species of plants from the Balearics are all well worth a visit. Son Servera
Caimari / Campanet Caimari
is a small sleepy village in the region of Selva. Together with the neighbouring
villages of Biniamar, Moscari, Binibona and Selva, they are all very similar
in their display of simple traditional Mallorcan architecture. Like many
of the inland villages, life revolves Famous for its underground caves from which there are guided tours, Campanet is a typical inland village that runs alongside Caimari and Binibona. This will prove an ideal base from which to explore the beach areas of Puerto Pollensa and probably the nicer in the area of Cala San Vicente. Alaró Alaró is one of the eleven municipalities that make up the region of Es Raiguer. Situated between the Tramuntana mountain range and El Plan (the plain) the Es Raiger route follows the old lanes in the area, joining the villages that nestle at the bottom of this mountain. Unspoilt nature, culture and traditions are still alive here and will stand the test of time as will the people because they respect their roots and heritage. Perched high above the village of Alaró stands the remains of the castle, dating from before the 12th Century. From here you have the most marvellous view over the plains of Mallorca (majority of the journey can be made by car). The village itself is well worth exploring on foot, linger a while around the delightful main square trying out one of the many bars the village has to offer. Ca's Concos / Santanyi
This area is ideal for those wanting to explore the Southeast coastline, which has some of the best beaches on the island, together with Mondrago Natural Park, home to unusual flora and fauna. Getting away from the usual tourist areas of Cala D'or, there is a wealth of secluded and beautiful bays such as Cala Llombards, S'Almonia, Cap d'es Moro and Playa d'Es Cargol. Cala Santanyi has long been the inspiration and tradition gathering place of artists from all over the world, as has Cala Figuera with it's traditional fishing village atmosphere and picturesque harbour, a refuge for artists and Bohemians over the years. Manacor
Pina / Sencelles Whilst this
area is relatively unknown, it provides an excellent base to get anywhere
on the island very quickly due to the close proximity to the Palma Inca
or Manacor roads. For those interested in the "Talaiot" or prehistoric
defence towers then the area Deia Situated high up on a hillside on the north-western side of the island you will find the very picturesque village of Deia. Narrow cobbled streets and stone built houses lead up to the historic church. Many artists come here year after year, because without a doubt this has to be one of the loveliest parts of the island. So many people head out at night around the hairpin bend roads to get to this village to one of the many restaurants, because the setting is so perfect. Frequent classical music recitals are performed here in the summer. Do take a trip down the very winding road to Cala Deia and sample a scrumptious fish lunch whilst enjoying the splendid view of the bay. |
