Buildings consist mainly of 3-storey structures of local stone, with a few newer additions on the outskirts. The atmosphere is here is laid back and relaxed.
Locality:
Alaro is situated in NW Mallorca, 6 mls SE of the hamlet of Orient
(15 mls NE of Palma and its international airport). Alaro is situated on
gently sloping ground in the foothills of the pine-clad Tramuntana
Mountains, surrounded by farmland and olive trees. A switchback road
leads to the hamlet of Orient.Popular with German and British couples, Alaro offers a taste of the real Spain.
Accommodation is limited to just a couple of hotels, options just
outside Alaro consist of some private rental properties and converted
manor houses although are well outside the village.
Typical of a small village, there isn’t a great deal in terms of
shops and shopping, with a pharmacy, small supermarket, newsagent being
about all that is available. The not to far town of Palma has a far
wider choice of shops.
Daytime attractions are really limited to relaxing activities: drinking
coffee or beer at the cafe/bars on the main square, walking and
exploring the surrounding countryside..etc By night there are a handful
of bar/cafes. Palma is the place to go for livelier entertainment as
well as cultural activities. A daily bus service is available to Palma
and some of the surrounding villages and provides the only real means of
getting around. Taxi’s are limited and car hire is not available within
the little village.
There are no organised excursions but making your own trips to Pollensa
(with its Roman bridge and historical church), the seaside resort of
Puerto de Pollensa and Valldemosa (mountain village with monastery where
Chopin lived) will make interesting trips whilst in Alaro.
