• A glimpse into the history and culture of Artá

Artá is a window into Mallorca's past. The heart of the town is dominated by the majestic Church of San Salvador, which dates back to the 13th century. This Gothic church stands atop a hill and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Walking through the cobbled streets of Artá is like stepping back in time, with stone houses and charming courtyards that tell stories of generations past.  

The weekly market is another highlight of Artá. Every Tuesday, the Plaza del Conqueridor comes alive with stalls selling fresh produce, local crafts and a mixture of colours and aromas that reflect the authenticity of the island.

Nature plays a leading role in the beauty of Artá. Just a few kilometres from the village is the Llevant Nature Park, a paradise for hikers. Meandering paths lead you through pine-covered hills, spectacular cliffs and hidden coves with crystal-clear waters. A popular trail leads to the Ermita de Betlem, a mountaintop sanctuary offering stunning views of the sea and coastline.
