Majorca is one of, if not the best place for Brits to go in the summer to get some sun.
The best place in Majorca to get away from the crowds of tourists and the place that gets the most love from the island’s residents. During the summer months, British citizens looking to soak up some rays flock in large numbers to the island of Majorca.
On the other hand, due to the island’s ridiculously high visitor numbers, several of the island’s most popular tourist destinations can be described as being extremely commercialised.
Where exactly should you go if you would rather get a feel for the real Majorca, one that is more ingrained in the culture of the island’s locals?
Here is a list of ten little towns that will allow you to avoid the crowds at the more popular tourist destinations.
1. Petra receives 4,400 searches on Google every single month.
The information provided by Holidu. According to searches conducted by people from Spain, Petra has been crowned the most sought-after little town on the island of Majorca. Petra is a teeny-tiny rural village that can be found smack dab in the middle of Majorca. It has a population of fewer than 3,000 people. This picture-perfect town is bustling with activity because to the several squares that it contains. These squares are where the town’s restaurants and bars are situated. Petra is particularly well-known as the birthplace of Fray Junipero Serra, a missionary who is credited with being the founder of the state of California.
2. Sóller receives 3,600 searches on Google every single month.
Sóller is the second most popular small town in Majorca, and it is located in the “Valley of Oranges,” which is also known as the “Valley of Gold.” This mountain community has a population of less than 14,000 people and is located approximately three kilometres inland from the nearest coastline. The main plaza, Plaza Constitución, and Gran Via are the greatest places to take in Sóller’s breathtaking architecture, which combines Caribbean-colonial buildings with Catalan Modernism style. This gorgeous architecture can be seen throughout the town. The Sóller Train is a railway line that connects the little town with the capital of Palma and takes passengers along a path of olive groves and orange groves that originate in the Tramuntana mountains. This train is one of the most popular attractions in this area.
3. Campos receives 1,900 searches on Google every single month
We are now going to head to the southeast of the island of Majorca, where we will visit Campos, a traditional rural village that has fewer than 11,000 residents. Every week, Campos holds two morning markets, one on Thursday and one on Saturday. During both of these markets, the entire town congregates at the market stalls to purchase fresh, locally grown produce. This hamlet may be found in a part of the island that is known for having some of the most beautiful and well-visited beaches, such as Es Trenc and Sa Rapita.
4. Artà has an average of 1,600 searches per month on Google
Located only a few kilometres inland from the island’s northeastern coast, the small town of Artà holds the position of Majorca’s fourth most popular small town. Because this village has been spared from the overrun by tourists that has plagued other parts of the island, it has been able to keep its genuine Majorcan character. The historical landmarks that can be found in Artá are among the city’s most popular tourist destinations. These landmarks include the Sanctuary de Sant Salvador as well as the fortress walls that surround it. The village is particularly well-known for its handcrafted pottery and basket weaving, both of which are sold at the weekly market that takes place every Tuesday. Caves d’Arta and Coves del Drac, two of Majorca’s most well-known cave systems, may both be reached quickly and conveniently from Artá.
5. Valldemossa receives 1,300 searches on Google every single month.
This year, Valldemossa solidified its position as the fifth most frequented small town on the island of Majorca. The highest point on the island of Majorca is where this town is located: on a hill in the Tramuntana mountains. Valldemossa has a population of fewer than 2,000 people, making it the least populous town on our list of the top 10 towns. This town has a low population and car-free alley streets, which contribute to its laid-back and peaceful ambiance. However, this town sees an increase in the number of tourists during the summer months, so if you want to avoid the crowds, consider going during the shoulder season. You can reach the peaceful Port Valldemossa in just 15 minutes by car from the centre of the town. Here, you can take in the sights and sounds of nature while relaxing by the water. Hiking enthusiasts who are interested in exploring the Tramuntana mountain range will find the town to be an excellent base of operations.
