Villa Murada is situated just off a country lane, with the bustling town of Manacor just a 5 minute drive away. The second largest town of Mallorca, there is plenty to experience and explore! Historically known as the home of industry, Manacor has a very distinctive feel. One of the most popular attractions is Nostra Senyora dels Dolors, a striking Gothic-style church in the centre of town dating back to the 19th century. The narrow streets behind the church make for a pleasant place to stroll, take in the sights and soak up the atmosphere.
For a truly authentic experience, visit Manacor’s weekly market held every Monday. As one of the busiest markets on the island, it’s perfect for getting stuck into the hustle and bustle, visiting traditional stalls and picking up olive wood products that Manacor has become well known for. Being one of the largest areas in Mallorca, there are plenty of shops and dining options to choose from. Ranging from traditional tapas, to Italian cuisine, patisseries through to Indian restaurants, there really is something to suit all tastes!
There are a number of beautiful, sandy beaches and coves just a 15 minute drive from Villa Murada. Cala Romantica, Cala Mendia and Cala Anguila are small, picturesque resorts, with soft white sand and beautiful, turquoise seas. The beaches are relatively secluded, but do have a small selection of restaurants and local shops nearby for basic snacks and refreshments. With sunbeds and parasols available for hire, these beaches are perfect for getting stuck into a good book and cooling down in the calm waters. Just down the road is pretty fishing village Porto Cristo, visited by many to try out some of the local restaurants on the port, perfectly positioned to enjoy the afternoon sun.
