Manacor

To the east of Majorca lies the island’s second most populous city, Manacor, home of olive wood furniture, pearls and a coast of caves and coves.

An alternative to fashionable Palma, Manacor is a down-to-earth working city with a historic heart and easy access to the island’s gorgeous east coast.

It’s perhaps not what most people have in mind when they think of Majorca, but the industrious second city has a distinctive and friendly atmosphere that makes its residents and visitors feel at home.

Manacor is one of Spain’s oldest inhabited settlements with an historic old town of narrow streets leading to the great Gothic church which dominates the low-rise houses and buildings that surround it.

Manacor is also home to the Balearics only Via Verde, a 29-kilometre walking trail of huge natural variety. You are also near to the pretty port town of Porto Cristo, the superb beaches of Cala Millor and the dazzling underground caves of Drach.
