Perched on the rocky edge of Mallorca, Castell d'Alaro is one of the island's most rewarding climbs, recommended by lovers of both history and nature. These ruins are a crumbling castle, several arched stone doors, and wall remnants are all that remains of what was once the fortress of 9th-century Christian warriors. If you're less adventurous, you may drive to the ascent to take in the stunning views over almost the entire island. In case you want to stay overnight, Castell d'Alaró also functions as a guesthouse. There's also a small bar and restaurant where you can recharge your batteries and enjoy a meal with fantastic views.

Originally constructed as a medieval fortress in 1299 by King Håkon V, it was later transformed into a Renaissance castle and royal residence under the reign of King Christian IV. Throughout the centuries, this historic landmark has stood witness to pivotal events that have shaped the country's history. Guided tours are available daily.

Right in the centre of Mallorca lies Sineu, the island's oldest village. For over a thousand years, farmers have gathered in this picturesque town to trade cows, bulls, horses, sheep, mules, ducks, hens, and swans at the market each Wednesday.

For a relaxing day trip, take the train to the former fishing village of Cascais. Here you can stroll on the beautiful decorated streets, experience the lively fish auction held every afternoon next to the main beach, visit "Museu do Mar" to see the rich history of Cascais or take a refreshing walk along the coastal road to Boca do Inferno ("Mouth of Hell") where high waves crash into gigantic caves.
