Muro is so charming with its sandstone architecture and narrow streets. The Sunday market is lively and colourful, with much fresh produce. There is sometimes a Wednesday evening market on Muro beach which sells local arts and crafts. The village administrates the beach resort of Playa de Muro. Muro has a quaint museum, the Museo Etnlogico de Muro. It features displays of traditional, rural life in Mallorca during different periods in history.
The Catalan-Gothic church San Joan Baptista is 400 years old and replaced the old church. There is an active bull ring which was built in 1910 from locally quarried stone. You will enjoy relaxing at one of the many street cafes.
If you would like to sample some of the local wines, you can stop at the excellent Bodega Butxet vineyard on the way to Can Picafort. It is a hidden gem where you can taste the delicious Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah wines.
Playa de Muro is a short drive away on the coast and quieter than the main Can Picafort beach. Can Picafort is full of sun, sand and summer buzz. It is well developed so you would be forgiven for thinking that it is purpose-built though there is indeed very ancient history. The unspoilt beach of Son Serra de Marina is close by. It attracts surfers and adventure sports enthusiasts. If you want to try out some windsurfing, hang gliding and kite surfing, this might be the place to come. There is a 10-day fiesta during the last week of July and the first week of August with sporting events, live music and other celebrations.
Arta is a lovely place to visit. The town rigorously clings to its heritage with the Transfiguracio del Senyor parish church dominating the centre and skyline of Arta. Arta is overlooked by the fortified Santuari de Sant Salvador, which is a major attraction to tourists.
Muro is a great place to have a mix of beach days and exploration days to historic towns and villages, including the Old Towns of Alcudia and Pollensa, and it is easy to visit the Caves of Drac.
