A Guide to Exploring Mallorca's Northwest Coast Off the Beaten Track
The Northwest coast of Mallorca arguably offers the most spectacular countryside, picturesque villages and crystal-clear waters on the whole island. So why not stray from the beaten track and tackle the winding hairpin bends and dramatic mountain scenery of this less-travelled corner of the isle? We’ve come up with our pick what to see and do when you get there.

Monastery
The origin of this blue-cassocked choir dates back to the 16th century, originally with just six boys. Currently, the 40-strong choir perform the salve every morning and evening at this sacred site, and of course also on Sundays and at special masses. The Blauets’ concerts during Easter week are a sensational experience, and at Christmas one of the children sings the eerie Medieval apocalyptic prophecy “Cant de la Sibilla” to an enchanted congregation.
