Mallorca is much more than sun and beaches… step into a fascinating journey through history
Moving away from the bustling tourist coasts you can delve into rural Mallorca that continues to beat to its own rhythm, upholding its customs and most entrenched traditions, such as its farming, and where the traditional architecture is highly respected. In this Mallorca, the quiet passing of days and the leisurely lifestyle of the locals blends with the highly contrasting landscapes that you can explore on foot, through paths like Camí de Raiguer or the famous Barranc de Biniaraix, or by car or on bicycle on secondary roads.
Made up of roads, plots of land and dry stone construction, in the vicinity of Tramuntana Mountains you’ll discover large rural properties once inhabited by the former men responsible for agricultural production and storage. You should not leave without strolling through the rooms full of history in Son Marroig (Deià), Alfàbia (Bunyola) or the iconic Raixa (Bunyola). Oil mills, windmills or waterwheels shape the pastoral scenery that adorns the vineyards and olive groves.
In the centre and south of the island, the almond trees, orchards and vineyards will certainly brighten up your visit to the traditional windmills or the wonderful Majorcan wineries.
