Santa Eugenia
Traditional rural village in central Majorca
People argue over whether the mountains or the coast represent 'the real Mallorca', but the heart of the island is to be found in villages like this. The bars are frequented by local farmers and make few concessions to tourism; there is nothing to see as such, just marvellous views across to the Tramuntana where the mountains rise out of the plain.
The beautiful agricultural land is criss-crossed with tiny lanes ideal for walking. The old 6-km cart track to Sencelles offers good walking and more views, over the postcard village of Biniali. Or try a circular walk from the village in this Walk from Santa Eugenia.
