Santa Margalida Holidays
45 minutes from Palma is the small and gentile town of Santa Margalida. Near the Bay of Alcudia in the north east of Majorca, it is characterised by the beautiful rolling plains around it and the 9km of coastline nearby. Full of charm, the village - known locally as La Vila - was originally a Moorish farmstead. Today, it is at the centre of a traditional rural landscape and gives visitors a fascinating glimpse into a part of Majorca that most visitors never even see.
Only 7km from the hotels and beaches of the Bay of Alcudia, the village of Santa Margalida could not be more different. Old and traditional, charming and elegant, it presents a picture of Majorcan life that has all but disappeared on the coastline. Its large central square, surrounded by trees, shops and tapas bars, lets you enjoy a drink in a typical Spanish setting. Some of the best beaches in the area are 20 minutes away at Colonia de Son Serra. And just a bit further is the busier resort of Ca'n Picafort, with its glorious beach extending all the way to Alcudia and a huge selection of restaurants, giving you the enviable choice of taking it easy the Majorcan way or taking advantage of the wonders of the nearby coastline.
Spending your holidays in Santa Margalida is like taking a step into the past. Seldom few take the opportunity to experience such an unspoiled village on this internationally popular island.
