Welcome to Manacor, a paradise on Mallorca's island! This resort is located in the northeast of the island and is ideal for a journey that combines nature and heritage, as well as cultural and outdoor activities.
Due to its extensive tourist and entertainment offerings, the Mediterranean coast is one of the most popular destinations for travellers. A city that, thanks to Rafa Nadal, one of its most illustrious personalities, has achieved great popularity.
We are talking about the second-largest city, only behind the capital of Mallorca, a destination of great importance that bases its economy on tourism and industry.
It is part of what is known as the Comarca del Levante and is made up of several population centres such as Manacor city, Porto Cristo, one of the best known, Son Macià, Son Negre and Port de Manacor.
If you're already considering how to get to Manacor and are on the mainland, you'll need to take a plane. But, if you're already on the island, you can travel the road by car or train, as the station is located in the heart of the town.
Walking through the heart of the city is very pleasant, and the Ajuntament de Manacor promotes pedestrian zones, walking, and cycling to make this city a much more sustainable environment, owing to the ZPR law.
The heritage here is quite varied, and among the different elements, we highlight, right in the centre, the church of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, in neo-Gothic style. You can also take advantage of a Monday to mix with the masses at the weekly market, where you can buy a variety of goods while taking in Manacor's vibrant environment.
No trip to Manacor is complete without a stop at the Drach Caves, famous in Spain for the grandeur of its stalactites, stalagmites, and underground lakes, which create a true visual display. However, they are not the only caves in the vicinity! the Cueva del Pirata (Pirate's Cave), the Cueva de Can Senyoret, and the Cuevas dels Hams (Hams Caves)are all worth visiting.
All of them are tourist attractions, as is another of the island's main industries: Majorica pearls, which you may learn about in the factory and purchase as a souvenir.
If you don't have time to learn everything, you can always visit the Manacor History Museum, which offers free entrance and displays ancient artefacts.
In terms of natural attractions, we recommend starting with the Port of Manacor, which is located near to the city and offers a pleasant promenade. If you like to lie on the sand and swim in the sea, Manacor features several lovely beaches and coves, including Cala Morlanda, Cala Romántica, and Porto Cristo Beach.
To round out a day in Manacor, catch a game of the local club, Manacor FC, and keep up with the latest city news before filling your tummy with traditional dishes like frito mallorquín, coca de Trampó, or arrós brut.
