Itinerary

1. Palma de Majorque

   Our Tour begins in Camí de la Escollera in front of the Cathedral of Palma at around 09:15 hrs. Palma was founded as a Roman camp upon the remains of a Talaiotic settlement. The city was subjected to several Vandal raids during the fall of the Western Roman Empire, then reconquered by the Bizantine Empire, then colonised by the Moors (who called it Medina Mayurqa) and, in the 13th century, by James I of Aragon.

2. Banyalbufar

   The original name Banyalbahar comprises two different components, both of Arabic origin: banya (constructed) and bahar. Banya derives from the name of a Moorish settlement established on the island in the 10th century. The original meaning of Banyalbufar is, therefore, "founded by the sea". Following the Catalan conquest of Majorca in 1229, Banyalbufar came under control of Gilabert de Cruilles and Ramon sa Clusa. During the Middle Ages and up until the 15th century, the valley was ruled under a practically absolutist government, the Barony of Banyalbufar. The baron maintained the civil and criminal jurisdiction over the entire population. The inhabitants of Banyalbufar devoted themselves almost exclusively to agriculture. Fishing remained merely a secondary industry. Produce included wheat, barley, pulses, olives, flax, hemp, saffron and, above all, wine. The local Malvasier grape was highly prized. After a long period of decline, there are now efforts to revive this fruit.

3. Estellencs

   Estellenchs is the town with the least population of the entire island, and the municipality also with the least census, just over 300 inhabitants. Although in the summer time it exceeds 450. The municipality is located between Andrach and Bañalbufar, towns to which it is linked by a single road that borders the Sierra de Tramontana. During winter, and due to the difficulty of access, it is usually one of the first towns on the island to be cut off when there are storms, due to rockfalls on the road that cut off the passage.
