A magical town to the west of the island.

If you plan to come to Mallorca this year, you must include the town of Fornalutx between your plans, either to visit it during the day or as a main destination. Fornalutx, located in the western area of the island of Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is one of the most famous rural towns.

It is a small traditional mountain village in the purest Mallorcan style, with a total area of more than 19 thousand kilometers and almost 700 inhabitants. In addition, other places of interest, such as Sóller, are also located next to it.

Without a doubt, Fornalutx will captivate you, and we will tell you in this post why. Keep reading, because today we bring you a full post in which we tell you all about Fornalutx in Mallorca, and how to enjoy your best Mediterranean vacations there. 

What to do in Fornalutx

Maybe it's better to ask yourself, how can you not go on vacation to Fornalutx? This characteristic town of Mallorca, located in the Serra de Tramuntana (World Heritage by UNESCO), deserves at least one visit.

The town is a wonder, with fields full of fruit trees, typical winding streets and stone stairs, incredible mountainous landscapes in the background, or pots that overflow with flowers hanging down the street. All this reminds us of other popular towns such as Sóller or Valldemossa, not far from Fornalutx, which share some of these characteristics.

A day of sports and activities in Fornalutx

On the other hand, Fornalutx is a very popular town among those who want to relax and enjoy the sport or unique activities in a natural, authentic and very Mediterranean environment. There you can enjoy many cycling routes, as well as hiking, or biking and hiking in the mountains. A spectacular environment!

Explore the town

To enjoy an even more relaxing and cultural plan, we recommend you go out and explore the town, stroll through the small local shops, pick up some typical Mallorcan sweets at the bakery and finish by having a drink at one of its charming cafés overlooking the Puig Major.

Oh! And since we start exploring, you can not forget to visit the town hall building, which is accompanied by an old defence tower dating back to the 17th century. It is one of the most curious and beautiful architectural sites of Fornalutx. 

On the other hand, you can not miss the wonderful church of the town, built in 1639, originally Gothic style and later more baroque reforms. Undoubtedly, this combination makes it something unique that you must visit. 

Finca Ecovinyassa

This place is another must, without a doubt. If you have time, you should include in your plans a visit to this environmental education farm, Finca Ecovinyassa. There you can discover the history and all the varieties of lemons and oranges in the valley of Sóller, surrounded by an enviable environment.

The vegetable garden of Sa Vinyassa, located between Fornalutx and Biniarix, offers the possibility of a self-guided visit of 2 hours. This tour can be held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 10 and 14:00 hrs on reservation, for about € 12 / adult and € 6 / child (from 4 to 12 years). The pack includes a delicious snack and organic orange juice.

Top tip: take cash to buy some of the organic products produced by the farm. From delicious organic jams to orange or lemon peels, bags of eco herbs, and even orange blossoms.
