Cala Serena: Find hotels and discover culture in Felanitx
Accommodation in Cala Serena
If you’re looking for a hotel in Cala Serena, you can also include the attractions of the wider destination of Felanitx in your travel plans. There, historic religious buildings and a Way of the Cross sit alongside museum collections, a weekly market, wine tours and an annual cultural event.
Via Crucis through the old town
Felanitx’s Via Crucis Urbà runs through the streets of the historic old town and dates back to the early 18th century. This Way of the Cross includes stone bas-reliefs that visitors can view. This brings two aspects together: the route passes through the old town, while the reliefs give the Way of the Cross concrete visual form. The route and the depictions each lend the historic path a character of its own.
Collection and library in Felanitx
The Col·lecció Museogrà fica Fundació Cosme Bauçà has a different focus. Its main collection is ethnographic and includes kitchen utensils, agricultural objects, and tools and instruments from various trades. The examples range from household and agricultural items to the work of different occupational groups. The collection also features African sculptures, small figurines of Hindu deities, Japanese netsuke and figures from the traditional Mallorcan Nativity scene. These objects broaden the thematic scope of the main ethnographic collection, bringing in a variety of forms and cultural references.
The Col·lecció also includes a library with manuscripts and books about Felanitx and Mallorca. You can consult several local and non-local press archives there. The collection and library offer different ways to explore the subject: objects on the one hand, and texts and press on the other.
Architecture of the Parroquia de Sant Miquel
The Parroquia de Sant Miquel was built in the 16th century and has a single-nave layout. Its main portal combines Neo-Gothic forms with Balearic Churrigueresque style. Inside, stained-glass windows depicting the Evangelists sit beneath a ribbed vault. Several architectural and decorative elements come together in this building: the nave and vault shape the interior, while the portal and stained-glass windows each add their own details.
El Calvari: Oratory and feast days
El Calvari is now an oratory dedicated to Santo Cristo del Calvari. The chapel of El Calvari was completed in 1856. Solemn celebrations are held at the sanctuary each year on two dates set by the religious calendar: the Sunday near September 8, the anniversary of the Coronation of the Virgin, and the first Sunday after Easter. If you’d like to plan around one of these celebrations, check the dates for your travel year.
Nitx de l’Art and weekly market
The annual Nitx de l’Art kicks off the Sant Agustà festivities in Felanitx. Exhibitions, live music and other activities bring the streets to life. The cultural event combines several elements; individual editions and programmes may vary. If you’re planning to attend, check the dates and programme for that year.
The Felanitx weekly market offers food, crafts, clothing and shoes. It takes place on the last day of the week, unless that day falls on an Easter, Christmas or New Year’s holiday. These holiday exceptions are a specific departure from the usual weekly schedule to bear in mind when planning.
Wine tours at Celler Vi d’Auba
In Felanitx, Celler Vi d’Auba offers tours and wine tastings. Visitors can learn about the production process and sample the wines. The tour and tasting combine insight into the winemaking process with the chance to taste the wine.
