Hotels in Felanitx
Accommodation in Felanitx
Felanitx offers several specific themes to consider when planning a stay: a Stations of the Cross route through the historic old town, the architecture of the parish church of Sant Miquel, a varied museum collection, a weekly market and cultural events. Wine tours are also among the experiences described. If you are looking for a hotel in Felanitx, these different highlights can help you organize your own interests for the trip.
Historic Sites and Architecture
The Via Crucis UrbĂ runs through the streets of the historic old town and dates from the early 18th century. Visitors can view the stone bas-reliefs that make up the Stations of the Cross. Its route and reliefs give a specific thematic focus to a walk through the old town: the individual scenes along the way are the main feature.
The Parroquia de Sant Miquel was built in the 16th century. Its single-nave layout and main portal offer different architectural approaches: the portal combines Neo-Gothic forms with Balearic Churrigueresque style. Inside, depictions of the Evangelists appear in the stained-glass windows beneath a ribbed vault. You can explore the building through its period, floor plan and distinctive interior details.
El Calvari also adds to Felanitx’s historic sites. The chapel there was completed in 1856; today, El Calvari is an oratory dedicated to Santo Cristo del Calvari. Solemn celebrations are held at the sanctuary each year: on the Sunday near September 8, the anniversary of the coronation of the Virgin Mary, and on the first Sunday after Easter.
Museum and Collections
The main collection of the Col·lecció Museogrà fica Fundació Cosme Bauçà is ethnographic. It includes kitchen utensils, agricultural objects, and tools and instruments from various professions. The collection also features African sculptures, small figures of Hindu deities, Japanese netsuke and figures from the traditional Mallorcan nativity scene. Everyday and work-related objects are thus displayed alongside very different groups of items.
The library of the Col·lecció Museogrà fica Fundació Cosme Bauçà contains manuscripts and books about Felanitx and Mallorca. Several local and out-of-town press collections can also be consulted there. This offers two different ways to explore your interests: the collection’s objects and written materials related to the town and the island.
Weekly Market, Cultural Event and Wine
The Felanitx weekly market takes place on the last day of each week. The market does not take place if that day falls on an Easter, Christmas or New Year’s holiday. Items on offer include food, handicrafts, clothing and shoes. Nitx de l’Art is an annual cultural event during which exhibitions, live music and other activities bring the streets to life. It opens the Sant Agustà festivities in Felanitx. Individual editions and programs may change, so check the current dates when planning a specific trip. The market and cultural event follow different schedules and may offer different considerations when choosing your travel dates.
If you are interested in wine, Celler Vi d’Auba offers tours and wine tastings. Visitors can learn about the production process and sample the products. This theme complements visits to historic sites and collections with an insight into winemaking.
