Andratx, municipality of Spain
Andratx is a municipality on the western coast of Mallorca with a picturesque harbor and charming village center. The town spreads from hillsides down to the coast and mixes traditional building styles with newer residential areas.
The area was settled during the Moorish period and the name originates from that time. After Christian conquest in the 13th century, the settlement developed as a fishing port and trading center.
The name comes from Arabic roots, reflecting the long Moorish history of the island. Visitors can see this past in the architecture and street layout, which follows the pattern of medieval settlements.
The place is easy to navigate, with clear streets between the harbor and village center. Visitors can find parking near the harbor, and bus stops connect the town to other parts of the island.
The harbor hosts many luxury yachts and is known as one of the priciest mooring locations in the Mediterranean region. Despite this, the town kept its relaxed local feel and does not get as crowded with tourists as other coastal areas.
