Costitx
07144 Costitx, Balearic Islands, Spain
Costitx is a small, traditional inland village in the Pla de Mallorca (central Mallorca), with narrow streets, stone-built houses and an agricultural setting of olive and almond groves — a peaceful base for exploring rural Mallorca and neighbouring market towns.
What Makes It Special
The village is home to the Observatorio Astronómico de Mallorca on its outskirts, giving Costitx an unexpected connection to astronomy and generally darker night skies than the coastal resorts.
Insider Tips
Use Costitx as a quiet cycling or walking base: take the country lanes through almond and olive groves (especially beautiful in blossom), call into the local bakery or café for pastries before you set off, and combine visits to nearby archaeological sites and market towns.
