After Palma de Mallorca Manacor is the next important town of the island. It is well-known for its furniture industry and the production of artificial pearls. It is situated in the ultimate spur of the ‘Sierra de Levant’ and was founded already in the year 1300 by king Jaume II. The most important sightseeing points are: ‘Torre de ses puntes’ (tower of the 14th century), the Domicanian monastery ‘Sant Vincent Ferrer’ and the baroque convent ‘ Santo Domingo’. Furthermore, there are some impressionable caves, which can be visited nearby. They could raise due to the special kind of limy parts in the ground. In the center of Manacor, you will find a hospital, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés and many specialized little shops, shortly said: all you could need. The recently constructed attractive traffic-free zone also invites to walk a little and then rest in one of the cafés while having a look at the people passing by and relax in Mediterranean atmosphere.
