Discover Pla de Na Tesa

Local highlights in Pla de Na Tesa include an annual almond milk Fira and a bakery offering both traditional and innovative products. For broader travel planning, it is worth considering Mallorca as a whole: the island brings together distinctive landscapes, natural phenomena, culture and food.

Almond milk and local crafts in Pla de Na Tesa

The annual Fira de la Llet d’Ametlla takes place in Plaça de l’església in Es Pla de na Tesa. The Fira includes the traditional making and tasting of almond milk, as well as a craft market. Culinary traditions and crafts therefore come together at this event. If you would like to plan your trip around the Fira, check the dates for that year’s edition.

The Forn del Pla de na Tesa offers fresh traditional and innovative products made with high-quality local ingredients. The selection may change, so if you plan to visit, it is worth checking the current offerings in advance. Pla de Na Tesa thus has both an annual event and a specific bakery offering as local highlights.

Mallorca: Serra de Tramuntana and trails

In the wider destination of Mallorca, the Serra de Tramuntana defines a UNESCO World Heritage mountain landscape: cliffs descend to the sea, with green valleys and clear streams in between. Agricultural terraces, interconnected waterworks including watermills, dry-stone structures and farmhouses are also part of its cultural landscape. As the largest protected natural area in the Balearic Islands, the Serra brings together natural features and landscapes shaped by agriculture.

The routes in Mallorca also differ in how they are described as connecting places. The GR-221, also known as the Ruta de la Pedra en Sec, crosses the Serra de Tramuntana. The Artà-Lluc GR-222 route connects the Llevant mountain ranges and their nature park with the central area of the Serra. These names and routes offer different points of reference when exploring Mallorca’s landscape and trails.

Caves, wetlands and natural phenomena

Among Mallorca’s natural attractions are the Cuevas del Drach. The four interconnected caves are called the Cave of the French, the Cave of Luis Salvador, the White Cave and the Black Cave. The guided tour includes a live concert. Afterwards, visitors can cross Lago Martel for free, either by boat or on foot via a bridge—two different options for the final part of the visit.

Another natural area is s’Albufera, an important Mediterranean wetland with migratory birds and native wildlife and plant life. The Torrent de Pareis is a three-kilometre-long limestone canyon in the Serra de Tramuntana. The natural monument is accessible via the road to Sa Calobra; check road conditions before setting off. At Fonts Ufanes, the natural phenomenon depends on a prolonged period of rain: afterwards, the springs emerge spontaneously.

Mallorcan cuisine and culture

Mallorca’s cuisine and history offer further topics to explore when planning a trip. Ensaïmadas de Mallorca are traditional spiral-shaped pastries. Sobrasada, a sausage emblematic of Mallorca, is made from minced pork, paprika and spices. On the cultural side, there are Bronze Age Talayotic ruins, including Ses Païsses in Artà; the Talayotic settlement of Capocorb Vell is located in Llucmajor.

The most common way to reach Mallorca is by flying to Palma de Mallorca Airport. From there, direct flights connect the island with many European cities and major Spanish and international cities. Check connections before booking. When looking for a holiday rental, you could first consider whether the annual Fira and local bakery offering will shape your travel plans, or whether you mainly want to explore the island’s natural, cultural and culinary attractions.
