Esporles is a mountain village nestled in the Tramuntana mountain range, in the western part of Mallorca. This beautiful village retains much of its original charm, with typical stone houses and winding streets. In addition, it also enjoys excellent access to the road network and main services. Possibly due to the difficulty of accessing the village by public transport, tourists do not usually visit it. Despite this, it is a popular choice with the thriving international community of permanent residents, who benefit from its incredible scenery and easy access to Palma and beyond.
Bunyola is a beautiful village in the Serra de Tramuntana, capital of the municipality of the same name. Strolling through the streets of Bunyola is an experience in itself. Its narrow cobbled streets, its staircases, the picturesque facades, the mountains in the background... Everything in Bunyola invites you to get lost and completely disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the island's capital, which is only 30 minutes away.
The name of Santa Eugenia comes from the lord of the farmhouse that eventually became a village: Bernat de Santa Eugènia. Currently, the municipality has a population of just over 1,600 inhabitants, who are divided between the town and the small farmsteads. Agriculture, on the one hand (especially wheat, vineyards and legumes), and construction, on the other, are its main economic engines. Santa Eugènia celebrates its festivities in August and in summer there are also events such as the Santa Eugènia Performing Arts Festival. The town's traditional fair, the Santa Eugènia Agricultural and Livestock Fair, on the other hand, is held in spring, in mid-April.
Algaida is a small inland town that retains its character of yesteryear. The activity of the village is concentrated around its main square known as Sa Plaça, here we find the main stores and places to eat. Algaida was formerly a town with a lot of agricultural activity, proof of this are the numerous mills that can be seen in the surrounding area. In its surroundings stands out the Puig de Randa, a small mountain with beautiful views from the top.
Montuïri, land of mills, historically linked to cereal and flour production, presents an important combination of culture, heritage and tradition. This fact makes it a must-see place for anyone who wants to get to know the most traditional side of this island surrounded by a rural natural environment of singular beauty. Despite the logical social evolution of recent years, Montuïri continues to be a town with a strong agricultural presence, a fact that has allowed it to maintain the landscape of its surroundings, which for centuries has been marked by rich farmland. These crops are mostly rainfed, highlighting the cereals and vines, but we can also find irrigated land, which are supported by simple hydraulic systems.
Sant Joan is a Majorcan village that belongs to the region of Pla de Mallorca. Surrounding the village are Petra, Villafranca de Bonany, Porreres, Montuïri, Lloret de Vistalegre and Sineu, municipality of which it was part. Its current population is around 2,000 inhabitants. Sant Joan is possibly the municipality in which agricultural activity is the most important in its economy as a whole. Wheat and garlic are its main products. Livestock is also very important, in particular the Mallorcan black pig, as well as the production of sausages.
On the island of Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands, not all the recommended destinations are on the coast. And the fact is that the interior of the largest Balearic island is home to several places to spend a dream vacation. Costitx is one of those special towns that is inland, and that can boast of being surrounded by a beautiful natural environment and for having a great offer of accommodation and restoration. This Mallorcan town became popular because a valuable archaeological treasure was found here, the Ox Heads of Son Corró, which are currently in the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid. In addition, and thanks to its location and the cleanliness of its night skies, it is home to the only astronomical observatory on the island.
The community of Ariany is located in the center of the largest of the Balearic Islands, on the road from Petra to Santa Margalida. The pretty village is located in the northeast of the Plà de Mallorca, on the Puig de Sa Cobetera, one of the highest in the area. The approximately 800 inhabitants of this small residential village appreciate the tranquility and nature of its location. Generous country houses, rustic mansions and Mediterranean fincas dominate the urban landscape of Ariany. Still unknown, Ariany is becoming increasingly popular as a residence as it is located in a very rural area, far away from the crowds and the hustle and bustle. The small village is pure relaxation and a high quality of life in a natural environment.

It has wide streets and a square, of good design, where the market and its festivities are held.
