Felanitx itself is a charming municipal town. Situated roughly 13 kilometres inland from Porto Colom, Felanitx has a delightful old-world charm and peaceful vibe, making it high on the list of people looking for property in a traditional Mallorcan town.

The Church of Sant Miquel in the centre of Felanitx is a popular attraction, particularly to take a look at the famous (and rather bizarre) statue of St Miquel standing on the head of the devil. But the main place of interest for visitors to Felanitx is undoubtedly the mediaeval monastery of Santuari de Sant Salvador. Majestically positioned on a steep rock outcrop to the south east of the town, it was once one of Majorca’s most important sites of sacred pilgrimage. The monastery also has a restaurant and café and doubles as a hotel.

However, it's not just the monastery that attracts people to Felanitx - from the sanctuary one looks out towards theCastell de Santueri. Constructed in the 14th century, the castle itself, impressively, is built into the cliffs and the views from here are spectacular. A lovely place to eat in Felanitx is El Castillo del Bosque, literally the ‘castle in the woods’. Here one can enjoy delicious, freshly-cooked Mediterranean cuisine in a romantic garden setting.

Sunday morning is a good time to be in Felanitx, where the town really comes to life with the al fresco market. Here you can purchase fresh local produce and enjoy the exciting buzz of a Majorcan market day.

Felanitx has good direct road connections with Palma and its international airport approximately 50 kilometres away.
