The absolute meditarranean flair comprising  uncomparable light conditions and some 320 day of sun, lovely hiking tracks and the famous almond blossom in the mild winter season, calm mountain areas with protected animal habitat and surveid environmentalism. Visitors enjoy the sea and outstanding long beaches or picturesque coves from April through November. Serveral international sailing regattas under the patronage of the royal family, luxury marinas with interesting people, some of the most attractive golf courses in the mediterranean, outstanding conditions for kite surfers in the bay of Alcudia as well as the newly Palma Marathon are some of the highlights not only for ambitious sports people. Palma city offering a sofisticated international cultural programm, as well as first class medical care, international schools for foreign residents and lively communities in the centre of the island belonging to the main focus of MALLORCA RUSTICA form a well desired alternative for everyone thinking beyond a mere touristic engagement.

 

MALLORCA RUSTICA’s offer comprises the nicest properties mostly in the centre of the island. But through EXECUTIVE SEARCH we will also find a special one for any buyer wishing to go beyond the normal listed offers.

 

In these authentic areas you still shall find “the old Majorca” with its rural charm and original communities with people “standing firmly on the ground with both their feet” wihtin a surrounding in which it is difficult to live short-term trends.

 

However, quite a few clients such as owners of holiday property, many local families, foreign residents working and living on the island permanently have found their “favorite spot” in this area.

 

In the past here you could find traditional plantations for olives, almonds and locust bean trees, as well as Olive oil and weaving mills, wineries and potteries and quite a few landed estates with animal husbandry, some of which still are operating today. Famous is the yearly almond blossom from midst of january till the end of February with a great ammount of pastel colours in white and red, each competeing  with the steady blue of the suthern sky.

 

It is on purpose that MALLORCA RUSTICA has its “epicenter” in this ancient town. Most of the main roads on the island lead in a radial manner to this community with urban character and its 3.000 inhabitants. Due to its central position Sineu was declared the capital of mallorca in the 13-th century by the former King James II.

 

And still today it is famous for the only still existing medieval trade and animal market on Wednesdays, when you can watch farmers from 7 a.m. onwards selling their crop and animals and you can listen to the gossip of the locals at the vegetable market. But at 10 o’clock tourist “take over controll” coming in flocks by buses. Only a few houres later however everything calms down in peaceful silence. The streets get sweaped and many stores remain closed in the afternoon. It is only today that “siesta time” is stated for all the stressed owners of many a shop. ll

 

Already when travelling on the road from Palma to Sineu the visitor shall notice the exceptional position this town has. The road known as “Camino viejo de Sineu” (old Sineu road) which was generously rebuilt in 2001 is the only connection leading directly to the centre of Majorca without passing through any other community. The trip to the airport or to downtown Palma will take you no longer than 30 minutes. To get to the wonderful beaches at the bay of Alcudia lasts no longer than 20 minutes. Inca, the third largest town in Majorca with all shopping facilities you may want is only 10 minutes away. But if you decide to take a break from driving and prefere a pleasant trip by train allong the country side you can choose to use the restructured railway connection leading from Manacor via Sineu and Inca to Palma City in only 40 minutes.
