some Recommendations

 

street Markets

  • Llubí (the village that is less than 5 minutes away)

    on Tuesdays,

    a very small market, but usually with local season fruits, vegetables and honey traditional to Llubí.

  • Sineu (a small town 20min. away)

    on Wednesdays,

    a big market, Sineu’s old town is lovely to walk through, you can see live animals as a reminiscence of what old time markets were like.

    on Thursdays,

    the biggest in Mallorca, they have a lot of everything, a lot of the beautiful but also the not as beautiful, but usually with a lot of product variety.

best and close Beaches

The pool is great, but you may want to enjoy the open sea, the views, the trip, …

A good thing about staying in the heart of Mallorca is that you can go to any side of the island in a short trip.

  • Playa/Platja de Muro (20-30minutes away) probably the most beautiful beach in Mallorca, white sand, clear water. It is so long you can find your kind of beach along it, from the hotel area full or restaurants, parking, people and activities, to the natural park pine area sorrounded by nature.

  • Playa/Platja de Son Serra de Marina / Sa Canova (a bit further away, but worth it if you value nature) beautiful beach that is the coast line to a protected natural park. On the Son Serra side (west) you will find parking and restaurants.

Wearing tips

  • A “straw” hat, specially recommend for summer.

  • Espardenyas (esparto sole shoes) and a senalla (esparto handbag) to blend with the locals and the tradition.

  • Foldable hand fan, essential for hot days where there is no fresh breeze.

  • Hike always with proper hiking footwear, also carry a bottle of water and in the summer avoid midday hours.

the very closest and oldest Sights

  • Muro’s church, lite at night and during the day you can see it from far away in the horizon where the sun rises.

  • Llubí’s windmills.

  • The Talayots just outside Llubí.

  • Llubi’s church square, spacially if it is lunch or dinner time with the family or friends.

Dates

Every town has is own annual festivities with a main day (coinciding with the town’s patron saint day or a holiday) where you’ll find usually some specific tradition for that town, all age activities, gastronomic sample shows, live music, concerts, party and dancing the main square, fireworks, outdoor suppers in the street, …

on Rainy days

  • A walk to the train station, or by car if it’s a true rainy day. A quick train trip through the inner Mallorca, to Mallorca Outlet Fashion Centre (Festival park), an open comercial centre with great fashion brands, lots of mostly fast food restaurants and it’s own train station.

  • On literal rainy days or after a rainy day, specially nice places to visit are Fonts Ufanes (near Campanet, quite close to the villa) and Orient’s waterfalls (near Orient in the Tramuntana Range). Both are a phenomenon that only appear after rain.

    Font Ufanes is a not busy circular easy circuit though an old Oak forest and a water spring source that appears directly from undergrown with sudden strength. Besides close to the circuit there is an old chapel and in a wonderful environment a lovely restaurant with beautiful views and the possibility of visiting the cavern that all together make the trip worth it even if there hasn’t been a rainy day.
