Rural tourism in Mallorca: what you can't miss

1. Explore Mallorcan villages

While the beauty of Mallorcan villages is rich and varied, and you have many options to visit, we recommend two must-sees. Start your rural adventure by visiting the charming villages of Valldemossa and Sóller. Valldemossa, with its cobblestone streets and stone houses, will transport you to another era, while Sóller will fascinate you with its modernist architecture and extensive orange groves. Both villages offer a peaceful and authentic atmosphere, ideal for strolling and enjoying the local culture.

2. Escape for a walk in the Sierra de Tramuntana

The Sierra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a perfect place for hiking and nature lovers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and connect with the environment. Its trails offer stunning views of the mountainous landscape and the Mediterranean Sea.

3. Visit local markets

Immerse yourself in local life by visiting village markets, where you can find fresh and artisanal products. For example, the Sineu market is one of the oldest and most authentic on the island, and there you can find a wide variety of products from fruits and vegetables to local crafts and handmade fabrics. Here, you can taste and buy local delicacies and take a piece of Mallorca with you.
