ABOUT TOWN & VILLAGE

A quiet village center beneath the striking Sant Llorenç church

Church stairs, stone alleys, and mountain scenery north of Inca

Selva is located at the foot of the Tramuntana north of Inca and features an elevated historic village center. The parish church of Sant Llorenç stands on a prominent ledge and is accessible via a monumental staircase. Stone houses, narrow streets, and the proximity to the mountains convey a peaceful rural impression.

The municipality also includes Caimari, Moscari, Biniamar, and Binibona as independent villages. Especially Caimari serves as a gateway to the mountain landscape and the historic olive terraces of Ses Rotes. The old path to Lluc is part of the GR 222 hiking route and is significantly more demanding than a simple village stroll. The traditional herbal fair combines plant knowledge and regional culture.

What to Expect

  • Sant Llorenç church and church stairs
  • Traditional stone alleys
  • Mountain backdrop of the Tramuntana
  • Caimari and olive terraces within the municipality
