The heart of Arta consists of the typical streets, some cobbled, Mallorcan with striking windows and doors painted in green or red, with what were formerly the leftovers of the paints used for the ships. Many small stone houses, with that island air so characteristic of the Balearic Islands, and stately buildings. Among so much beauty and charming little streets, in the distance you can glimpse the imposing fortified sanctuary of San Salvador, inside which is a carving of the Virgin Mary in Romanesque style, and below it its namesake church in Gothic style. The advantage is that the whole center can be visited on foot, including the hill that must be climbed to reach the fortification and that runs along the entire wall. But Artà also has natural and historical spaces in its surroundings that are well worth a visit.

In the municipality of Campos we can find three population centers: Campos, sa Ràpita and Ses Covetes. What is more rooted and has more activity is the town of Campos, which was founded in 1300 by King Jaime II, and has always been the most populated nucleus. Sa Ràpita and Ses Covetes, being coastal towns, were not of great interest until the 70s of the last century, when tourism made the Mallorcans begin to look towards the sea. For many centuries, living near the shore was a danger and only fishermen had their livelihood. The municipality of Campos was an agricultural and cattle-raising town. The orchards produced, the mills filled the washing places and there was no lack of pasture for the milk-producing cows. This agricultural and livestock wealth meant that the bell ringers, unlike other villages, were in no hurry to adapt their municipality to the demands of tourism. This fact, which may have been detrimental to economic development, has meant that today the coasts are among the least damaged in Mallorca and have sandy beaches of great scenic wealth.
