Fornalutx, Mountain village in Mallorca, Spain
Fornalutx sits at the heart of Sierra de Tramuntana, featuring stone buildings, red-tiled roofs, and narrow streets surrounded by citrus groves and mountains.
The settlement traces its origins to the 13th century when residents established terraced gardens, irrigation systems, and agricultural practices in the mountainous terrain.
The village received multiple accolades, including the 1983 Silver Plaque from the Mallorcan Tourism Board and recognition as one of Spain's finest villages.
Three municipal parking areas accommodate visitors, while the central square provides essential amenities including cafes, a general store, and a traditional bakery.
The Ca'n Xoroi Olive Oil Mill, converted into a cultural center, displays a permanent exhibition of Tejas Pintadas, featuring local artistic tile work.
