Holidays to Muro mix culture and tradition with easy access to one of Majorca’s best beach resorts.

Authentic Majorca

If you’re after a taste of the real Majorca, Muro’s a safe bet. The town’s plotted in a rural area dubbed ‘the vegetable basket of Majorca’, away from the beaten track in the northeast of the island. And thanks to the region’s fruit-and-vegetable-growing credentials, it’s a top spot to pick up fresh produce and local wine – especially at the Sunday morning market. Picnic, anyone?

Cultural calling cards

Muro’s skinny streets are lined with sandstone buildings, like its two main sights – Muro Ethnological Museum and the Church of Sant Joan Baptista. The museum – which is set inside a 17th-century house – holds shelf-after-shelf of traditional pottery, sculptures and tools, and you can even mosey around an old blacksmith’s workshop. As for the church, it’s a 400-year-old Catalan-Gothic number fronted by a tree-lined square.

Bolt for the beach

When you fancy a stint at the seaside, nearby Playa de Muro should be your go-to – it’s only 15 minutes away by taxi. And it’s not just convenience that’ll draw you in. The five-kilometre-long Blue Flag beach is as pretty as a picture – think white sands and water that wouldn’t look out of place in the Caribbean. And, a chunk of it’s edged by a national park where clusters of pine trees sort you out with loads of natural shade.
