Sights in Mallorca: Places & Attractions in Majorca
Markets & Shopping in Mallorca
Shopping on Mallorca can be an easy laid-back affair. The main shopping is to be found in the old town of Palma where you can enjoy wonderful architecture as you wander around the shopping areas. Markets can be found in pretty much every town and village, with the focus being on local produce - both fruit & veg and local handicrafts. ...more
Beauty Spots & Caves
Many of the most famous beauty spots in Mallorca can be found around the coastline. The Cap de Formentor and Sa Calobra are amongst the favourites. The geology of Mallorca has also encouraged the formation of spectacular caves, some of which are so large that evening concerts are held in them. The rugged Tramuntana mountain range hide many isolated viewpoints, particularly is you are prepared to walk a little.
Museums & Galleries in Mallorca
There are a host of art galleries in Mallorca, ranging from modern contemporary art, to specific Spanish artists, such as Miro and Bennassar. The choice of museums is more diverse, with pottery museums, archaeology museums in addition to the more traditional local history museums.
Religious & Historic Buildings
Mallorca is blessed with many majestic cathedrals and sacred religious sites, reflecting its Christian background. From the magnificent Palma Cathedral to Lluc Sanctuary - Mallorca's most sacred site - a former monastery in a spectacular setting in the Serra de Tramuntana. Moorish influence is also still visible in the Islamic architecture of the Palau de L'Almundaina and the Arab Baths in Palma.
Castles & Ruins
Not surprisingly for an island, Mallorca has a number of castles and watch-towers decorating its coastline. Castell d'Alaro, Castell de Bellver and Capdepera Castle are all worth a trip. The Bronze Age ruins of Capocorb Vell are the most significant remains of the Talaiotic culture and can be found to the south of Llucmajor.
Nature Reserves
Several areas on the island have received protection from the Spanish government and are now conservation areas. Some are known for their wetlands, others for their birdlife or their vegetation. Whilst some of the land is still privately owned, there are many beautiful walks, and some have visitor centres and offer accommodation.
Country Houses & Gardens in Mallorca
A number of grand manor houses are open to the public in Mallorca. They tend to have been owned in the past by rich noble families. Most have a little museum and beautiful gardens to wander around. The botanical gardens in Soller and Bunyola provide tranquil places to relax and enjoy and the former, in particular, are a botanists dream.
