The beautiful Mallorcan interior
Located on the fertile plains of Mallorca overlooking the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains, Muro is a place with many centuries of history, reflected in its pretty squares, ancient churches and monuments. The streets are a perfect setting for an early-evening walk, enjoying the peace and unhurried way of life.
This local Mediterranean way of life is reflected in its daily bustle, lively festivals and markets, where you can buy everything from typical handicrafts to fresh vegetables. The surrounding area is full of fields, vineyards and winding country roads, perfect for amateur cyclists. A trip towards the sea brings you to Playa de Muro, widely considered one of the best beaches in Europe. And next to that is S'Albufera, the largest wetland area in the whole of Mallorca.
