Unaffected nature, medieval
small towns, romantic holiday villas, first-class sports possibilities:
our top Ten of the Llevant de Majorca...
1) By the dunes walk
A paradise for hiker and cyclist are the nature reserve of the peninsula
Llevant and the " Punta de N ` Amer ", the
nature reserves " Cap Ferrutx " and " Cap of the please " or the Areale
between S ` Estany d ` en Mas and Cala Antena. About flora (among other
things endemic plants) and fauna (particularly birds and amphibians) there
are at the local tourist's offices free very well processed info pamphlets.
All year round an extensive program with wanderings and bicycle excursions
organizes the municipality Capdepera.
2) In the Middle
Ages travel
Once a year jugglers, artisans and musicians let the past of the castle
of Capdepera become alive again: the medieval market with shindig and
fixed programme at the weekend around 19th May draws modern knights and
little ladies of the castle from all regions of the island magically.
Adventurous pirate's histories tell the military tower of Canyamel and
the fortress of Artà - simply to the wind allow to listen and the
imagination wander! Who would still like to travel farther back in the
past, Illot or " Claper of the Gegants " visits the prehistoric places
of discovery from the Bronze Age and Iron Age - for example, the Talayot
settlements in S ` in Canyamel.

live Trutzige historic walls, contemporary interior,
the highest comfort: for this living philosophy, for example, the luxuriously
restored Finca hotels Cases de Son Barbassa stand with Capdepera and Can
Talaieta with S ` Horta - both of mediterranean storybook landscape surround.
Tip for Jugendstil fans: reserve at all costs a room in Artàs to
small city hotel Sant Salvador - the German owner's married couple Heufken
has reshaped to the palaces " Ca ` n Epifanio " very artistically and
with a lot of intuitive feeling to an individual luxury hostel.
