Spring has sprung and the sun sets later every day to let us enjoy the soft temperatures accompanied by a lovely coffe or a beer while being sit in a cute coffee shop during Majorca in Spring.
That, my friends, is Majorca in Spring. Excursions that’ll let us see the greenest fields, small baby animals and birds singing that are trying to tell us that we’re letting winder behind. Long walks by the turquoise Majorcan beaches, or who knows, maybe a quiet meeting with friends or family sitting in a small and cute beach that’d offer peace and calmness to us, that relax we’d been waiting for so long.
Because no, not only animals leave their nests when spring comes back, but also people do. We leave that nest we call home to start enjoying the good weather again because, in the end, we all know that spring has that that “je ne sais quoi” that makes laugh to spread and love to shoot again.
Those reasons and many much more are the reasons why we’d like to talk about what to see in Mallorca in spring. In the end, is there a better way to spend the season of love than in a romantic island?
What to see in Majorca in Spring
Mallorca is an island with a few millenniums of life that allows each visitor to leave home with a new brain full of history in it. A good answer to “What to see in Majorca in spring?” could be CULTURE. A mix between old archeological ruins that’ll show us how life was in the island many centuries ago, just like old sanctuaries and monasteries that will reveal us the religious and romantic face of Majorca.
Monasteries, basilicas and sanctuaries to see in Majorca in Spring
Would you like to know the most spiritual side of our island?
Nostra Senyora de Bonany’s Sanctuary
This sanctuary is located in Ariany, more precisely in the top of the Puig de Bonay (a small mountain). The first data that we’ve about this sanctuary is from 1606. This sanctuary has amazing views from a few Majorcan towns and a playground where you can enjoy a lovely picnic with friends in one of its wood banks.
Lluc Sanctuary
To start describing this sanctuary we want to give you a clue: Lluc comes from the Latin Llucus, which means sacred woods. Lluc Sanctuary is located in Escorca and it’s surrounded by nature. Deep woods along old houses and the visits of thousands of tourists and locals that decide to visit it to discover more about the island roots, worship its architecture, or just to breath some fresh air in the middle of the calm that this place brings us.
First data we have about this sanctuary is from 1268, since it was already considered a sacred place by then.
Cura Sanctuary
Cura Sanctuary is well known for being the place where Beato Ramon Llull received his illumination. On top of the Puig de Randa we can find this religious wonder form 1257 and in which we’ll find more than 20 different caves that are worth the visit. A curiosity: Puig de Randa can be seen from almost all around Majorca for its “white ball” on the electricity tower that’s located next to the Sanctuary.
Son Peretó Basilica
Basilica de Son Peretó was a religious building built in the paleo-christian period (between V-VIII b.C centuries) that we can find between Manacor and Sant Llorenç des Cardessar. In here we can find a basilica that was used as a place of worship, a baptistery, a necropolis and some rooms attached to the basilica.
The wonders of Alaró’s Castle
On the highest mountain of Alaró, more precisely at 882m high, we find outrageous views, the nature on its prettiest state and well-kept ruins of what one day was a Muslim military construction from the 902 b.C.
Currently we can visit it with an easy hike and from it we can see almost all Majorca. It’s an amazing experience for nature and history lovers.
Sa Foradada
If we want to visit the North of Majorca, concretely Deià, in between the cliffs that dress the marina side of the Serra de Tramuntana, we’ll find a small peninsula that ends with a holed rock known as “Sa Foradada”.
This beautiful rock shows us the way to look at if we want to see one of the prettiest sunsets all around the world. The water and the sky melt in one, a spectacle that attracts the attention every day of dozens of visitors that would like to live a unique event.
Tram and Soller Train
This train is being characteristic for being one of the few trains that still has its own gauge, meaning that’s managed by a private company (Ferrocarrils de Soller S.A.) and it’s one of the main things that give it its charm.
It’s still working with the same pieces than it did back in 1912, it’s inauguration, and it still connects Palma with Soller town. No doubt it’s mandatory to jump on it during your holidays in Majorca.
On the other side we’ll also find the Soller Tram. Inaugurated back in 1913, and just like the train, it still has the same infrastructure than when it began working.
In this case, its trajectory goes from Soller town to Soller Port and also we can see some hidden places from the North of Majorca if we jump on it.
