Alaró

Village life at the edge of the mountains and one of the most famous castle hikes in Mallorca

Village square, local history, and castle hike to Castell d’Alaró

Alaró is located at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana in the transition between the mountains and the Raiguer. Stone houses and narrow streets characterize the village center; the Plaça de la Vila is the starting point for a tour and a break. The tower of the old electricity factory serves as a reminder of the village's early power supply, while the Saturday market showcases regional products and handicrafts.

The most famous excursion destination is the Castell d’Alaró on a steep mountain plateau. Fortification remains and wide views explain the strategic importance of the site. The final approach is on foot, which is why the castle hike should be planned with elevation gain and sufficient time. A tour of the village and a visit to the castle can be well combined, especially outside the midday summer heat.
