The traditional hillside town of Campanet is located 25 miles from Palma at the foot of the Tramuntana Mountains in the northern part of Majorca. The village of Campanet is unspoilt and traditional in character.

Campanet

Campanet appeals mainly to those looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday in the Majorcan countryside, away from the island’s busier beach resorts.

Life in Campanet centres around the town square and the narrow lanes running from it. Although there is no nightlife here, evenings can be spent at one of the local bars where tapas and traditional Majorcan cusine is served. Some of the hotels here offer excellent restaurants.

Hiking and walking is popular with visitors here, with cliff walks, traditional little villages and superb countryside with almond orchards, olive groves, orange groves and beautiful forests all waiting to be explored.

The Campanet Caves and the Majorca’s oldest gothic church, Sant Miguel,

Campanet Caves

 are local attractions which are a must to visit whilst here. The caves are famous for their stalagmites and stalagtites which have formed over millions of years. These limestone caves are complete with pools, winding passages and fascinating chambers and will leave you with a lasting memory.

If you are in Campanet and it rains a visit to Ses Fonts Ufanes (Majorca’s first protected Natural Monument) is a must, to see the fantastic vauclusian springs which shoot out of the ground.

On the outskirts of Campanet is Menestralia where the old Majorcan tradition of glass making is still carried out and can be watched by visitors.

The beaches at Alcudia and Formentor are not far from Campanet.

In July Campanet celebrates the fiesta of Sant Victoria which lasts for 8 days and in September it celebrates Sant Miguel’s day, who is the towns patron saint.

 from the marina.

The town of Pollensa is located about 4 miles inland from the resort, close to the Sierra Del Norte and the Sierra De Tramuntana mountain ranges. This is one of the oldest Majorcan towns, with narrow cobbled streets lined with old stone houses, some of which date back to the 13th century. Here you will find traditional Mallorcan restaurants serving some exquisite cusine.  In the main square there are some terrace cafes where you can enjoy a drink and a snack. In Calvari Square there are some bars and a pizza outlet. Calvari Church is found at the top of 365 steps which start in the square and a Roman bridge can be found at the edge of the town. Every Good Friday a figure of Christ is carried down the steps in a torchlight procession. A market is held in the town on a Sunday when the

local people trade their goods.

Puerto Pollensa still retains a touch of a traditional fishing village but is still a great resort in which to spend your bargain holidays.
