Santa Maria del Cami, Mallorca
Traditional rural town in the west of Majorca
This market town on the Palma-lnca railway has developed a reputation as one of Mallorca's artistic centres. Most of the island's potters work close by, in Porto, and Santa Maria is the centre of manufacture of roba de llengues ('cloth of tongues'), cotton woven into bright zigzag patterns and used in curtains, bedspreads and upholstery.
Just off the main square is Ca'n Conrado, former Carmelite cloisters and a peaceful retreat from the traffic on the Palma road. Santa Maria is also home to one of Mallorca's biggest markets. Every Sunday, locals and visitors gather to search out bargains of everything from clothing to arts and crafts.
