Scotts Galilea is a cosy rustic complex of houses and studio suites have individual south-facing terraces, all sharing the view. Set on the top of a mountain overlooking the South Coast it is a fantastic value retreat. A terraced pool is shared by the guests, with an adjacent bar. Palma is 25 minutes away travelling down windy narrow roads with almost every second of it picture postcard views, and surrounded by the sounds of nature. There is one and a half restaurants in the town of Galilea, which is perched on the side of the mountains looking rather more like something from Southern italy than your typical impression of Mallorca. In the nearby ( but 10 minutes by car ) town of Puigpunyent there is a selection of bars and restaurants. This lovely panoramic shows the patio pool bar area.

Galilea

Galilea is perched near the top of a mountain about 10 Kilometres from the sea on the south side of Mallorca. Looking more like a Southern italian cliff side village than a Mallorquien location, it has steep cliff sections and winding streets not for the fainthearted.

Majorca / Majorca History

Mallorca, inhabited since the Prehistoric Age, developed an important culture during the Bronze Age. In the year 123 BC Quinto Cecilio Metelo conquered the island for the Romans giving way to later invasions : the Vandals ( 468 ) the Byzantines ( 533 ) the Arabs ( 902 ).

In december 1229 the island was conquered by King James I of Aragon and repopulated by peopel of Catalan origin.

After the War of Succession, the Kingdom of Mallorca disappeared, and the island lost all its privileges and exemptions ( 1715 ).

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.
