-
Ancient, prosperous town noted for its basketry.
-
Not just one cove, but many, with their respective beaches and pueblo-style villas, make up this garden-green, stylish zone. Each former humble fishing dock has metamorphosed into a classy marina catering for a discerning set of international clientele.
-
This fishing port on Mallorca’s eastern tip, surrounded by fine beaches and pretty coves, is a crowded resort in summer.
-
A famous painting by 17th-century Sevillian artist Murillo hangs in the parish church of this dusty agricultural town. Next door is a museum with a collection of offertory bowls.
-
Artà’s crowning glory is its hilltop fortress, the view from which is one of Mallorca’s most characteristic sights: a jumble of tiles in every shade of brown.
-
The town is at the centre of a wine-producing area and also known for its floral-decorated pottery and its capers, or “green pearls”, which you can buy at the Sunday market.
-
This attractive fishing village was named in honour of Christopher Columbus, who is said (without much evidence) to have been born here. It has found a new lease of life as a resort favoured by Spanish visitors.
-
A family resort at the end of a sheltered inlet. Day-trippers come for the nearby Coves del Drac (see Coves del Drac), aquarium (see Acuàrio de Mallorca) and Auto-Safari Park.
-
This is the café centre for all the foreigners who own villas nearby, but it’s still very Spanish. Buildings are made from the same golden sandstone used in Palma’s cathedral. The streets near the church are the focus of a lively Wednesday market.
-
These days there’s no trace of the “small caves”, presumed ancient Roman burial niches, that inspired the name. Located at the northern end of Es Trénc, the island’s finest, longest, totally undeveloped, clothing-optional beach, this place resembles more of a dusty shanty-town than anything else.
