A holiday base in Esporles means that you’ll become one of the locals taking part of the village life and if you are more attracted by mountains than sea-views is fantastic because this place is good to enjoy nature walks and try their local produce. Beautiful, charming and historic, Esporles is a mountain village set in the Tramuntana mountain range isolated from noise and busy city life in the western area of Mallorca. Esporles offers a cozy and scenic atmosphere where you are truly one with the nature and it has a privileged climate with mild temperatures all year round. The local environment is located between the terms Valldemossa, Palma( only 12 kilometers from the capital Palma and 8.5 kilometers from the beach of Port des Canonge in Banyalbufar), Banyalbufar and Puigpunyent. The village was a centre for the island’s textile industry which flourished by favour of the abundant source of water flowing out of the hills under rain gathering close-by mountains.

Today the village is popular with tourists stopping off for a coffee in the pleasant main street cafes and the residents of the general area purchasing from the outdoor fruit, vegetable and flower market. The landscape of the municipality is famous for its vast stone oak forests, the land being particularly well suited to their growth and a walk through the dappled shade of the woods is highly recommended. As usual in Mallorca, the village church is the dominate architectural feature. The neo-Gothic church and oratory is dedicated to Sant Crist de la Pois, patron saint of the long-gone textile industry. Another major atraction for the history lovers is the Museo La Granja De Esporles.

A 10th century mansion situated amidst the lush greenery of Esporles village. The grounds contain beautiful gardens and natural fountains where you can have traditional meals in the local restaurants nearby and enjoy a tour of the surrounding farmlands. The mansion is famous for its beautiful medieval architecture design. Talking about food, the center of the village is the best place to find the restaurants and cafes in Esporles. Most of them serve traditional Spanish and Mallorcan dishes, like tapas, fish and shellfish, pork and chicken. Because Esporles is located somewhat like a port to the mountains, a lot of guests stop here to have either lunch, dinner or snack during the day meaning that you’ll have to chase an empty chair but trust me, it’s worth the battle .

When it comes to fun, the particular sport in this part of Mallorca is golf. The Club de Golf Son Vida, Golf Son Termens and Son Gual are excellent both for the quality of their installations and for the variety of the excellent services they offer. If is summer, we don’t have to miss a day at the beach, therefore the nearest point to the sea from Esporlas is the sleepy seaside community of Port de Canonge, approximately 5 minutes from the village center. This almost “hidden from the world location” is reached down on a long winding but it is certainly worth the journey! Esporles is a typical characteristic mountain village. The encircled area of the village is exceptionally beautiful so you can enjoy and receive  a pleasant feeling from the mountain with all its natural characteristic elements.
