LlucMajor

Llucmajor is the largest parish on the island of Mallorca. Encompassing both the beaches of the South East coast ( Cala Pi, Colonia de Sant Jordi, Playa d'estrenc ) and the mountainous range of The Randa massif it has a wide variety of natural habitats which are populated by a number of wild flowers and fauna ( such as the waterfowl ) which are not to be found on any other part of the island.

The town itself is a large district centre based on traditional trades built around a large central cathedral.

The new motorway from LlucMajor into Palma cuts the time to go into the capital down to 15 minutes, and is a spectacular drive plunging down into the bay and affording great views of the entire area.

The many vestiges of thetalayotic period make Llucmajor an especially interesting place to visit for lovers of prehistoric history. The talayot of Capocorb Vell is the most famous of all the island´s archaeological sites, not only because it was one of the first to be excavaed, but also because of its carefully preserved state of conservation.

The square lay-out of the village of Llucmajor originated in the fourteenth century. The many stone façades adorned with curious door-knockers that can be found on its narrow sreets imbue visitors with a medieval feeling.

At the beginning of the 20th Centurythe island came under the dominion of Franco's troops ( 1936 ). In the 60s and still under dictatorship, the island began to experience the boom in tourism which has become one of the great driving forces behind its economic development today.
