Travel guide Can Picafort
By plane to paradise
In just a few hours by plane, you can find yourself in a comfortable holiday home with a pool in Can Picafort, a finca with air conditioning near Port d'Alcúdia, or accommodation in Santa Margalida. Whether a house with a large pool and satellite TV or an apartment with practical facilities, Can Picafort is ideal for a relaxing
beach holiday on the north coast. Settle into your villa right on the coast with its private beach section, close to a kilometer-long sandy beach like in Colonia de Sant Pere. Discover Germany's most popular holiday island off the beaten track and venture on an excursion into the hinterland of the region. The Bay of Alcúdia, with its beautiful beaches, is a good starting point for a trip if your residence is not far away. Visit typical weekly markets that take place on different days. In Can Picafort, you also have the opportunity to buy inexpensive culinary souvenirs from Mallorca. In your finca, you can rave about the most beautiful sunset in all of Spain when you are on one of the beautiful beaches. From your luxurious villa with air conditioning and private pool, you can see the beautiful water and enjoy the summer particularly intensely.
Mediterranean flair on Mallorca
The weather is a crucial factor why so many appreciate the Mediterranean climate of the country. Swim in the pleasant temperatures in Santa Margalida in the sea or in the private pool of your accommodation in Alcúdia. Book a holiday accommodation with comfortable facilities on the coast of Spain's most beautiful island, an apartment with air conditioning in the north, or a Mallorcan finca with a large pool.
Poolside holidays are not popular in spring, but you can experience the orange tree blossoms. A fascinating spectacle that you should not miss. Summers in Spain are hot. An affordable holiday apartment with air conditioning is therefore essential. Rent a holiday home with a private pool and practical facilities so that you can also take care of your pet independently. Having your exclusive villa on the coast is something special, right? Even the few rainy days cannot spoil the good mood when you sit on the terrace of your villa or watch an exciting film on satellite TV. By the way, it rains less on the east coast, but in return, you can expect the most beautiful sights and excursion destinations in the Can Picafort area. Here you will find the most beautiful finca right on the bay, or you may be tempted by a villa in the center. A house offers a lot of comfort and independence, but a finca in the north or a villa on the fine sandy beach is also attractive. Whether a house or an apartment is a matter of taste. With a pet, a house like a villa or finca is more practical than a small apartment without a private pool.
Sights on Mallorca
In between, lie lazily in the sun, enjoy the beautiful finca with its private pool in a quiet location, and conquer the beaches between Palma de Mallorca and Can Picafort. That fits, but don't forget: Palma, the capital of the Balearic island, is always worth a visit. Above all, you should definitely experience the Gothic cathedral La Seu from the 13th century from the inside. The impressive building is probably the most famous landmark and is located on the picturesque Bay of Palma. Right next to it, you will find the Almudaina Palace. The former Moorish fortress is now only used by the Spanish royal family for official occasions. Alcúdia is known for its unmistakable round white tower. The Castell de Bellver is a medieval castle complex. You can easily take your pet to many beaches or rent a finca with a private pool. The restaurant is not far from the holiday home. The beaches are practically on the doorstep of the holiday apartment with air conditioning. Many worthwhile excursion destinations are not far from your domicile. Stroll through the historic old town and spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing on the
Playa de Muro. To protect themselves from pirates and other attacks, there were defense facilities like the Torres de Defensa. Sights such as the market of Alcúdia and
Son Serra de Marina are among the highlights of your holiday.
Where the Talayot once lived
Long before tourists discovered this idyll,
Mallorca enjoyed great popularity. Sparse bone finds from the 7th century BC prove this. The Talayot culture is somewhat more comprehensible. Talayot describes tower-like buildings that you can see again and again and that still shape the landscape today. Settlements were given fortress walls, and new places were created. Today it is hard to imagine, but the island consisted mainly of small Talayot villages with about 100 inhabitants per settlement. Today, only a few settlements like Capocorp Vell near Cala Pi or Ses Paisses near Artá remind us of this fascinating culture. The ruins of Son Real near Santa Margalida are such a relic and served as a burial place for people from the upper class of the Talayot culture. Some museums on Mallorca or generally in Spain show extraordinary exhibits and everyday objects from the epoch. The cave near Costix and the Museo de Mallorca in Palma reveal more about it. Things are quieter and more contemplative in Colonia de Sant Pere. In the east of the Bay of Alcúdia, there are tranquil houses with pools and complete facilities or a holiday apartment in a quiet location.
Snails, pigs, and yeast dough
The Mallorcan cuisine is strongly influenced by the region's history. Many dishes that you enjoy in your holiday apartment or a restaurant in Can Picafort or Son Baulo are defined by down-to-earth ingredients such as vegetables or meat. Dinner is usually taken late, often not until 9 pm, while your stomach is already rumbling in the holiday apartment. Meat dishes of lamb or suckling pig, supplemented with vegetables, or fish provide culinary taste experiences. Snails as yeast pastries, but also regular snails and fish - pescado fresco, freshly caught fish - and unsalted country bread will fill you up. Tapas are ideal for in-between or as a snack. A special delicacy on Mallorca is the Empanadas, yeast dough pockets with sweet or spicy filling. Pa de Figa is a snack made from dried figs and anise. The so-called fig bread is dried in the sun and served stylishly on a fig leaf. Typical for the island is the Sobrassada de Mallorca, a spreadable sausage made from pork fat and raw minced pork. The durable sausage delights with its aromatic taste and is a welcome edible souvenir from the sunny island in the Mediterranean. Then it's time to relax in your accommodation with a private pool and air conditioning in Son Real. Whether with a pet or without: booking a residence privately is perfect. After a restaurant visit, also take a stroll on the
