Alaró
07340 Alaró, Balearic Islands, Spain
Alaró is a charming Mallorcan village at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana, known for its traditional stone houses, relaxed town square lined with cafés and restaurants, and easy access to mountain scenery — a favourite base for walkers and anyone wanting a quieter, authentic island experience.
What Makes It Special
What makes Alaró special is the dramatic ruined Castell d'Alaró perched above the town — a distinctive rocky fortress reached by a scenic, steep trail that rewards hikers with sweeping views over the surrounding plains and vineyards.
Insider Tips
Set off for the castle early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat, wear sturdy shoes and carry water, and plan to return via the village square for tapas or a coffee at a local café to round off the outing.
