This
small Mallorcan town is the centre of the wine making industry and is surrounded
by bodegas and wine wholesalers. The
towns skyline is dominated by the spire of the town church. In front of the church
is the main square, lined with shops, bars and restaurants. You will also find
one of the finest hotels on the island in this square, Scott's
Hotel. You will find that there are very few hotels in Binissalem and equally
as few restaurants. There are however, shops selling local produce, household
goods and a supermarket. There is a garage and petrol station located on the main
road.

The
town currently has a dilemma with traffic; a new one way system is being tried
and tested and is failing miserably. Even the residents refuse to take note of
newly erected 'no entry' signs. Drive into the centre of town and you will almost
certainly find yourself back where you started from or in a dead end with nowhere
to go; the church square is a good place to park but avoid market days and the
night before market days. |
