Village · Serra de Tramuntana (Banyalbufar)
Banyalbufar
An amphitheatre of dry-stone terraces dropping from the mountain to the sea, built to grow vines and vegetables where there was not a flat inch. You look at it from the road and understand at once why the Serra is World Heritage.
Practical information
- Access
- Along the coast road between Andratx and Valldemossa, one of the island's loveliest and also one of the slowest: count it in time, not kilometres.
- Best time
- Autumn, at harvest, and sunsets all year round: it faces west with nothing in the way.
