Cities - Villages | Consell

Consell is the fourth smallest municipality in Mallorca and one of the richest for its agricultural production. Its lands are part of the denomination of origin Binisalem and some of the most renowned wines of Mallorca are produced in its lands. The vineyard is the most characteristic element of the municipality. In 1990 it occupied more than 3% of its entire surface. The construction of the freeway has taken away part of the historical importance that Consell had, being always located in a privileged place of the main communication routes of the island. Already in Roman times (2nd century BC-5th century AD) Consell was a revealing point. Consell borders the municipalities of Binisalem, Santa Maria del Camí, Sencelles, Santa Eugenia and Alaró, to which it belonged until 1925. One of its main buildings is the church, in addition to the possession of Can Ribas, within the town center. Among the architectural elements to highlight is the Pont Trencat, medieval according to tradition, which is located in the Camí del Raiguer, in the partition with the term of Alaró.
