Municipality

A village framed by the peaks of Puig de la Font Seca and Puig d’Alaró, the latter crowned by a rocky castle steeped in legend. In the town, life revolves around the Plaza de la Vila, where the Baroque church of Sant Bartomeu stands. In olden times, the footwear industry provided employment for two thousand people in Alaró, but only one cowboy boot factory remains now. It was the first municipality in Mallorca to have an electrical grid, which was inaugurated on 15th August 1901.
