Alaro is the 'real deal'. 

Nestled between the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and Es Pla, the central plain, Alaro is an absolute delight to visit. 

The town centre boasts an impressive medieval church constructed from local honey-coloured sandstone and featuring an imposing Baroque doorway. And then there's the delightful central square, Placa Vila, where you'll find a number of restaurants and cafes. Here you can enjoy a leisurely lunch featuring anything from a tasty snack to some of Mallorca's more traditional dishes. 

Another 'must do' when in town is Alaro's traditional market held on a Saturday morning. 

Castell d'Alaro - not to be missed!

Alaro's impressive castle is justifiably famous. Originally a Moorish stronghold, it was rebuilt in the 13th century and is an enjoyable two-hour hike from the town centre. Sitting high up above the town, the views from here are absolutely breath taking. 

On the way up to the castle you'll also come across one of Mallorca's most famous restaurants: Es Verger. Specialising in slow-roasted lamb, it attracts visitors from around the world. 

A tranquil haven so easy to access 

One of the great things about Alaro's central location is that the village lies near the island's modern internal train network. It takes just 25 minutes to reach the heart of Palma, Mallorca's beautiful capital city. A 'trip into town' for a spot of shopping, sightseeing and dining is easy and stress-free. 

It's such a lovely journey by train too. Sit back, relax and take in the splendid views of one of Mallorca’s most spectacular sites – the imposing twin mountain peaks of Castell and S’Alcadena.
