Felanitx, Mallorca
Traditional rural town in the south east of Majorca
Felanitx is at the centre of Mallorca's second wine producing area, Pla & Llevent, which produces a variety of white whites and fresh red wines. It is set in lovely countryside - close by you have the Sanctuary Sant Salvador and Castle Santueri, both of which are oerched in top of hills and have wonderful views of both Mallorca and the sea.

The town is also known for its capers, or 'green pearls'. You can buy them at the Sunday morning market, which spills out onto the streets around the church of Sant Miquel, with local pottery displayed on the church steps. The church facade contains a memorial to 414 people who died when a wall collapsed in 1844. Further up, beneath the rose window, you can see the arch angel Michael standing on the Devil's head.
