If you’re thinking of coming for a holiday on Mallorca and you’d like to discover its more hidden-away corners, at Hotels VIVA we’ll give you a first-hand guide to the most attractive towns and villages on the island
Mallorca is a magical destination because in addition to its crystal-clear waters, Mediterranean cuisine and habitats, the island offers visitors a stunning collection of inland settlements.
Get ready to revel in the beautiful Mallorcan landscape, with its green hillsides and extensive cultivated land, scattered with windmills and the sierra in the background. Touring the interior of the island by car or bicycle will have you falling head over heels in love with the least known side of the largest of the Balearic Islands.
You’ll travel back in time, helping you experience the essence of the island of calm and the authentic way of life of the islanders. It’s the villages of Mallorca that most authentically preserve a world of both culinary and craft traditions, harbouring a wealth of heritage.
Mallorcan families continue cooking with a greixonera, the term used for a typical earthenware casserole dish employed for making everything from Mallorcan soups to tumbet, a traditional Mallorcan.
Local markets are full of senalles de llata, baskets woven from dried palm fronds, originally used for shopping at the local market and nowadays an indispensable item for islanders that may be taken to the beach or used as an everyday basket.
We appreciate that it’s difficult to decide which of these jewels to visit, which is why at Hotels VIVA we’ve drawn up a selection of highlights:
