S'Arracó

Villages

S'Arracó is a small and intimate village, where the tranquility and hospitality that permeates its streets attract everyone who visits it. S'Arracó preserves the charm of the typical houses of the inland villages, low and traditional, with a small orchard or garden. This village also shows samples of the stately architecture, such as the various modernist style houses, built with the money that the emigrants of S'Arracó sent from France to their families, most of which are located on the main street, França street. Also noteworthy are the building of "ca ses Monges", the old school, now the house of culture, and the three traditional cafes, which are the meeting point for the people of the village. The main building of s'Arracó is the church of "Sant Crist", built in 1704 by Antonio Ferrandell Verí, considered the founder of the village. Inside, the baroque altarpiece dedicated to the "Santo Cristo" and the altarpiece of the "Mare de Déu de la Trapa", an image that comes from the disappeared monastery of the same name, stand out. Likewise, in s'Arracó, you can find some testimonies of the rural economy, such as the old possessions of "Son Guillem", "Son Joan", "Son Castell" and "Son Nadal", as well as the mills or the waterwheels that remind us of an agricultural past. As far as sports are concerned, the village has a modern sports facility, the sports field of "sa Vinya", equipped with artificial turf and prepared for the practice of sports such as soccer or rugby. But hiking is the best leisure option in s'Arracó. The mountain landscape offers the opportunity to make interesting excursions on foot and enjoy wonderful landscapes and unbeatable views. One of the most popular routes is the ascent to the monastery of "la Trapa". A small family hotel and a couple of restaurants, where you can taste succulent dishes of international cuisine, are also part of the charms of s'Arracó.
