Fornalutx, named “most beautiful village in Spain” in 2017, lies at the heart of the Tramuntana Mountain Range, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2011. It is crossed by a deep valley that stretches from Puig Major, Mallorca's highest peak, towards Sóller, a 15-minute drive away. The Mediterranean charm and the originality of the appearance and surroundings of this privileged town are simply overwhelming. The authenticity of the eaves that crown its stone houses, the striking ‘teules pintades’ (painted tiles), stands out. Its reddish tones depict both decorative motifs and symbols of protection. A colorful display of these ‘teules’ can be seen at the Can Xoroi Museum, an old converted industrial mill. Fornalutx has bakeries and pastry shops, restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and banks, and above all, it is ideal for mountain sports. Its ancient routes to Sóller and the impressive Biniaraix ravine captivate the most adventurous, whether it is for guided excursions, mountain biking or climbing. Every September the patron saint festivities of the Nativity of the Mare de Déu take place. For a week, its hundreds of inhabitants and visitors alike enjoyed live music, dances, children's games and a heartfelt tribute dedicated to the older people of the town.
