The village of Capdella (also known as Es Capdella) is a great destination for those seeking a traditional and unspolit Majorcan village for their next holiday rental destination.

Things to do in Capdella, Spain

If your idea of a perfect holiday involves hiking and walking around rural hillside terrain, exploring a quaint Majorcan village, relaxing in your self-catering accommodation and admiring scenic views, and enjoying meals in a traditional Spanish restaurant where there are more local customers than crowds of foreign tourists, Capdella may just be the perfect destination for you.

Capdella is extremely rural, and this becomes evident as soon as you turn off the main road and take a winding track that leads you to the village. The use of a car is vital to get around the area, and will also allow you to drive along a number of mountain roads that will lead to more scenic photography opportunities. The local landscape is dominated by the towering presence of the Puig de Galatzo, a 1027 metre high mountain that is the subject of many a local myth and legend.

The village itself has cultural sites such as the 18th Century Church of the Mount Carmel, along with basic facilities that include a small supermarket and a few restaurants. The Bar Nou is a popular restaurant that serves excellent local cuisine (the speciality is giant prawns), and also acts as a meeting point for locals and a stopping point for tourists.
