Tourist Attractions & Monuments Balearic Islands

The Camp de Mar tourist office, located in the town of Andratx on Majorca, is a practical information point for visitors. It offers information on the region's tourist attractions and can help travelers organize their stay.

The road of dry stone is a departure from Pollensa travelling through the Sierra de la Tramuntana. The road is currently over 167 km, and is divided into several stages to discover places of extreme beauty: many historical remains, walls dividing the cultivables terraces, cottages… At each stage, hikers are replenished and housed in a shelter such as a former monastery or a former mansion. Travel passes near the highest peaks (1 000 m) and can, of course, be carried out partly according to the level and time of each group. Some journeys last a few hours and the longest can last up to 5 days.

Interesting museum whose architecture recalls the talayots, these stone megalithic buildings of Majorca and Menorca. The visit, very pedagogic, serves as an introduction to Cabrera's visit. Several aquariums expose the various species present on the island. 

This imposing bastion is one of the few remains of the ^17th-century wall that once surrounded the town of Cuitadella. Although its origins date back to the ^14th century, after the town became part of the Catalan-Aragonese Crown, the wall was largely rebuilt after the Turkish invasions of 1558, albeit along the original line. Overlooking the harbor, the bastion offers visitors a breathtaking view of its sparkling waters. The town hall now occupies the interior of the former ramparts.

It is advisable to go out of the summer to enjoy this charming island, still preserved from the concrete on its half-west half where the wild coastline is splendid. It cannot be said that this is the paradise of naturism: You have to run out of Its Salines With Beach, which is loud, noisy and very «fashion» except at its end where you find quieter coves, or that of Es Cavallet frequented by Gays. We can find isolated coves by walking a little and then there is the official beach of Aiguas Blancas to the northeast of the island, succession of coves at the foot of cliffs, sheltered from the wind: paradise. Also the cala d'En Serra nearby. In short, as soon as we leave urbanized centres in the south-east, there is a preserved coastline to discover.

Halfway between Lluc and Pollença, high up in the northern part of the Tramuntana mountain range, you'll find this winery like no other. In fact, the vines here are grown at altitude! Of course, the texture and flavor are not the same as for a lowland or seaside wine, but the product is so singular that it's well worth a dip. What's more, the location itself is sumptuous: the vines thrive in the hollow of characterful hills, surrounded by pastures for sheep.

Ideally located opposite the Dalt Vila, the quays of Marina Botafoch allow you to appreciate the upper city as a whole, day and night. To reach the luxurious Marina Botafoch (located in the Paseo Marítimo area) from the old districts of La Marina (in the city centre, with Dalt Vila in your back), you just have to walk along the quays for a short half an hour. Pleasant, especially in the evenings in the summer, when the bars come alive.
