Mallorca for adults

[Pigsinspaaace]

Heading to Mallorca for the first time in early Sept with my new husband (a part two to our honeymoon). Staying inland (Alaro) and we've hired a car. Any recommendations, please, on interesting places to visit? We like scenic walks, local history, markets, good food. DH not much of a beach person. (I love a quiet-ish beach myself) Neither of us are fans of hugely touristy spots. Thanks!

@CC4712 ah Porto Pi carrefour is my rainy day trip!! Bought some great bits there over the years

The restaurant up the hill above Alaro is called Es Verger. They do lamb slow-cooked in beer in a big wood-fired oven which is to die for. The road up to it is quite an experience too, as a PP said - get a small car!

There's a ruined castle at Capdepera which is worth an explore. Once you have climbed to the top of the old walls there's a tiny little medieval church which is still in use.

The Cueves De Drach is a massive underground lake and they do classical music concerts that you go to in little boats.

Pretty much every hill in the centre of the island has a Santuari or Ermitage at the top, many of them are open to visitors and again the roads up are an experience in themselves.

If you have a hire car the whole island is explorable in a couple of days, so just head out and enjoy 😊

@PrimalLass we've stayed all over - so many nice places - as soon as I get off the plane in Palma I'm in a good place. Really love Palma itself too- we always have a few days there as well as resorts/villages -

For some reason, I've not been getting notifications on this thread and just saw all the other suggestions. Thank you all so much. I'm taking notes and making plans. 😍
