The Mallorca/Majorca region


Discover rural traditions and explore quiet villages in Mallorca. The variety of scenery on this island is stunning - one can enjoy views from below and on top of magnificent mountains, or combine a coastal walk with a refreshing dip in the sea.
The Binissalem area
Although the quiet residential town of Binissalem is a mere 12 miles inland from the capital Palma, it's a million light years away from the popular sun, sea and sand image of Majorca that is so widely promoted by the major tour operators.
The first regonisable landmark when driving into the town, will undoubtedly be the magnificent Gothic church of Santa Maria of Robines, which sits proudly in the “Placa de L’esglesia” or Church Square, and is clearly visible for many miles around Binissalem. Construction of the church originally began in the 15th Century, although in typical Mallorcan tradition the addition of the neo-Gothic bell tower wasn't actually completed until 1908. Since the year 2000, the church as also been the site of the local parish museum.
The town today is home to around 5,000 people, known on the island as “Binissalamers”, who make little, if any concessions, from their traditional Mallorcan way of life to the small numbers of tourists who make it here. Tourism has really had very little impact on the town over the last 40 years, and many of the buildings in the old centre actually date back to the 18th and 19th Century. In recognition of this unique cultural heritage, in 1983 the Municipal Government of the Balearic Islands declared Binissalem a historic-artistic site, thus affording it special protection from future development.
The small numbers of visitors who do make it here are often middle aged, and use the town as a convenient base to see what still remains of the undiscovered Mallorca, away from the over developed beach resorts and all night karaoke bars along the popular south coast.
It was also the Romans who recognised that because of the protection from the cold northerly winds afforded by Sierra Tramuntana mountains, the area around the town would be ideal for planting vineyards and growing grapes. Over the ensuing 2000 years, Binissalem has grown to be recognised as being at the heart of the Mallorcan wine industry, and vineyards currently cover an area of almost 400 hectares of the municipality.
Towards the end of September each year is the time when the grapes are picked, and to celebrate a successful harvest the town celebrates the Fiesta of La Vermada, which is a very popular event that attracts people from all over the island into Binissalem.
So what attracts visitors to choose this as a holiday destination? Binissalem has been described as untouched, unspoiled, innocent and unexploited, where people can still leave their front doors unlocked at night and young children can play safely in the town’s main square. For most visitors this is reason enough.

Guestbook for Ca'n Ricardo
Hi Tomás,
We are sending you this mail, only to say so much thank you for a nice stay at Villa Ca'n Ricardo in week 30+31.
We must say that we where so much surprised to see how nice and fine everything was in the house and the area around the house. Nice pools, nice outdoors facilities, nice house, nice whether and nice … everything was nice.
Please also say very much thank you to Maria and Ricardo for their kind hospitality and the nice dinner (3 times! :o)) they made for us during our stay.
When we ordered the house, for long time ago, we think it was a nice house and the communication to you was very good. Much better than expected. But when we saw the house when we arrived, it was much better than the photos and our expectations. So, keep up your good work :o) and you will get a lot of happy customers in the future.
I have attached some photos from the evening when Maria cooked Paella for us. (C&K from Denmark)
