holiday homes in Arta

Special boutiques

Who is taking his holiday in Artà does not have to go to Palma for shopping. The place is also known for its tasteful little shops, which string together like pearls. In ArtArtà,

At Pep from Can Cabrer you get the delicious Flor de Sal salts and across at the coffee shop La Bicicletta delicious ice cream. Pedra y Flor is one of the nicest decoration shops with self-made mobiles out of things from the beach, DOMUSart is well known for the special furniture, decoration and art. At Georgs, you find good wines and balsamic vinegars, at Ciutat 37 nice fashion and absolutely exceptional jewellery in the Galerie Bocaroja.

Im ArtArtá they are specialised on the inventive presentation of carftwork (like braided baskets) and the cultural heritage of Arta. Worth seeing is also the exhibition of the huge papier-mâché figures.

Nice coffee ships and good restaurants

In Artà shopping is real fun. Just the decision in which of the nice coffee shops you will drink your “café con leche” will be hard. Especially nice and romantic is the Café Parisienne, but also the El Dorado offers very good coffee, the Mar de Vins has also a very good kitchen and a beautiful Patio.

These are only a few examples, which you can find in the traffic-free centre. For a romantic dinner the La Calatrava in the parallel street, is a culinary oasis with a fountain and a huge patio.

Dance and contemplation

During the week, Artà is a pretty calm place, but not whilst the market takes place on Tuesday, because this weekly market seems to be one of the nicest ones on the whole island and therefore attracts a lot of visitors. Every first Sunday of the month, an original flee market takes place at the village square. There is also a lot going on in the first week of August, when the patron Sant Salvador is being celebrated. The fact that dancing is an important thing in Artà, is proven by the dancing iron devil at the entrance of the town.

Those of you who seeking tranquillity, can find it at Ermita de Betlém, which is hosting still today many monks (the youngest one is already older than 80). Close by is the spring Sa Font with a sainthood of Mary delivering fresh water. There are not only nice possibilities to hike but the area around Artà is also great for cyclists. There are also three golf courts around.
