Capdepera
07580 Capdepera, Balearic Islands, Spain
Capdepera is a historic town on north‑east Mallorca centred around an imposing medieval castle; its cobbled streets, traditional shops and local eateries offer a genuine Mallorcan atmosphere, and it makes a convenient base for nearby coastal gems such as Cala Ratjada, Cala Agulla and Cala Mesquida.
What Makes It Special
The town is dominated by the 14th‑century Castell de Capdepera — a well‑preserved hilltop fortress with ramparts and towers that provide sweeping views over the countryside and the Mediterranean, giving the place a distinct medieval character.
Insider Tips
Visit the castle in late afternoon or at sunset for the best light and panoramic views, then stroll the quiet old‑town streets and finish with a short drive to a nearby beach (Cala Agulla or Cala Mesquida) to turn the outing into a full day.
