Fornalutx, Mallorca

 

Fornalutx claims to be the most picturesque village on the island and indeed in the whole of Spain. This could quite easily be true. The village is to be found slightly north of Soller and close to Valldemossa and Deia. The only people who may disagree are the residents of nearby Biniaraix who lay claim to the same title. However, judge for yourself when you pay Fornalutx a visit for you simply have to.

 

 
Fornalutx benefits from an idyllic setting; in a valley surrounded by orange and lemon groves with the dominating Puig Major (the islands highest peak) as its backdrop. The mountain is best seen as the sun sets; watch the tops change to a golden orange glow. early mornings are equally as dramatic as the sun rises over its peak and the light streams across the orange groves.

The village itself is a quaint gathering of rustic cottages and town houses, all constructed in the local stone which give them a honey-coloured glow. The streets are steep and cobbled with narrow paths along their edges. Many have steps in the centre, designed to help the mules ascend with their heavy loads.

Many of the houses still have a Moorish look to them, especially in the narrowest lanes. The doorsteps are all adorned with potted plants.

As you enter the village there is a car park which is best used; then explore the village on foot. In the centre of the village you will find a beautiful square (Placa España), overlooked by the church and surrounded by restaurants and street cafes. There is also a supermarket here that supplies townsfolk with most things.

Apart from the main village there are several villas located amidst the orange trees.

There are just a few hotels in the village and staying here will reward you with absolute tranquillity. Don't be looking for noisy music bars and discos. This is one of the most peaceful spots on the island.

We stayed in Fornalutx in January 2003 and were amazed at the peaceful setting. We were also pleased with the reception we received from the local townsfolk who welcome visitors with open arms - well the quiet ones anyway.
