A Glimpse into Mallorca's Regal Past

The cultural, gastronomic and festive essence of the island is preserved in its interior by villages with stone houses that accumulate centuries of tradition. To discover them, one must travel along tiny roads that reveal a flat geography with small elevations and estates which supply the finest produce of the island. They have flour mills, washing places, fountains, wells and irrigation channels which enable one to imagine what life was like in rural Mallorca just a few decades ago. Sineu situated in the centre of the map of the island, this old stately village still exudes the royal air impressed on it by King Jaume II and Sanc of Mallorca. The streets of the old part of the village force one to gaze upwards to contemplate the majestic mansions, palaces and convents.
