Campos
Accommodation in Campos
Cultural attractions in Campos and natural areas in the surrounding municipality offer different options for planning your trip. In Campos, cultural highlights include a special route, the Church of Sant Julià, a municipal exhibition hall and themed markets. The municipality is also home to Es Trenc-Salobrar de Campos Natural Park, Es Trenc Beach and a wetland, giving you more to explore. If you are looking for a holiday rental, you can decide whether to focus on culture during your stay or put nature and the coastal landscape centre stage.
Cultural highlights and architecture
The COR D'AMETLER route comprises five tiles featuring the following sites: Casa Pairal de la Família Lladó Sala, La Sala / Ajuntament de Campos, Convent de Sant Francesc de Paula, Església Parroquial de Sant Julià and Convent de les Germanes Missioneres dels Sagrats Cors. The collection ranges from named buildings and institutions to several religious sites. Anyone interested in the history and architecture of a place will find a range of starting points for exploring Campos.
The Església Parroquial de Sant Julià is a single-nave church in the historicist Renaissance style. Its bell tower dates from the 16th century. The architecture and tower bring together two distinct aspects: the church’s single-nave design and art-historical classification sit alongside the bell tower’s own historical date. This makes Sant Julià a specific destination for travellers interested in religious architecture.
The Auditorio Campos offers a different cultural perspective. This municipal exhibition hall is used for a range of exhibitions featuring significant works of painting, sculpture and printmaking, as well as monographic presentations. Its scope, from painting and three-dimensional works to printmaking, sets this focus apart from the church’s architecture. When planning your trip, you can therefore consider whether you are more interested in buildings or in different forms of artistic expression.
Markets and musical tradition
Themed markets are held in Campos for festivals and special occasions. These include a milk market, an art market, an ice cream market and an All Saints’ Day market. Each has a different focus, ranging from milk and ice cream to art and a market associated with All Saints’ Day. As these markets are linked to festivals and special occasions, they are among the distinctive cultural experiences you can take into account when planning your trip.
Music is also associated with a specific chapter in Campos’ recent cultural history. The cultural project “Mou-te pel Convent” began in connection with the reopening in December 2017. It included organ concerts on the first Saturday of each month, along with other accompanying musical activities. Its connection to a specific occasion and its regular concert schedule at the time gave the project a distinct profile alongside the markets and exhibitions. For travellers interested in culture, it adds a musical dimension to the picture of Campos.
Nature and beaches in the municipality of Campos
Es Trenc-Salobrar de Campos, a marine and terrestrial natural park, encompasses Posidonia seagrass meadows, dune landscapes and wetlands. The park therefore brings together a variety of landscape features: Posidonia seagrass meadows, dunes and wetlands. If you would rather focus your stay on nature than on architecture and exhibitions, this offers a different option for planning your trip.
Es Trenc Beach is also in the municipality. It is almost two kilometres long and more than 20 metres wide. Behind the beach is a wetland that can be explored on a guided visit; more than 170 bird species have been recorded there. The beach and wetland offer different ways to experience nature: the coastline’s expanse on the one hand and the wetland’s birdlife on the other. You can make the wetland a specific nature experience to consider for a guided visit.
The municipality of Campos is also home to the Balneario de Sant Joan de la Font Santa, considered the only thermal spa with natural thermal water in the Balearic Islands. This adds another distinct aspect to the cultural and landscape attractions. For further orientation, see the pages on Sa Rapita and Ses Covetes.
