When a Mallorquin speaks of "the heart of Mallorca" he is not referring only to a specific geographical area, nor to all cultural expressions that define a very own way to understand identity. This area of Central Mallorca, unknown to many tourists who visit the island during the summer, has managed to combine tradition and modernity and maintain its character and customs to become an ideal place to stay and live forever.
The villages of the centre of the island such as Santa María, Alaró, Algaida and Selva, to name a few, continue to preserve their personality despite the passage of time, an identity linked to the fields and the proximity of the mountains. In addition to that, they have taken on the beneficial influence of the coastal air and the currents of modernity and progress that arrive from the city in the form of a determined commitment to leisure and relaxation. With a view of the beautiful landscapes of the Sierra de Tramontana, a unique scenery filled with almond blossom, ancient olive groves and rich vineyards, peaceful life goes by on the streets and squares that remain faithful to the traditional architecture.
The character of the people and the unique combination of the orography with the mild climate that prevails throughout the year, have achieved the perfect balance between tradition and modernity, the greatest treasure of those who live in Central Mallorca. The Mallorquin of inland, lover of good food and excellent wine, enjoys buying local products at the weekly markets held in different villages, and has preserved the ancient gastronomy recipes of dishes giving exceptional flavour to daily life. Every town or village in the interior celebrates each year its bustling traditional festivities. It is the true soul of Central Mallorca showing in the lively gatherings of neighbours and friends sitting on the sidewalk, enjoying the breeze on summer nights. It is like time has stopped and nothing has changed.
