Banyalbufar:
Means “building by the sea” in Andalusian. A coastal village set on several different levels, with the church of La Nativitat de Santa Maria which houses one of the most valuable Baroque organs in the world. La Baronia, a 16th-century country house with a splendid inner courtyard now converted into a hotel, is a landmark of civil architecture. The coast of the municipality is marked out by terraces overlooking the sea, planted with Malvasia vines and local ramellet tomatoes, which owe their fertility to an irrigation system dating back to the Islamic period that includes channels, canals and fountains. The town of Banyalbufar is a prime exponent of irrigated crop-growing activities on hillside terraces in the Tramuntana mountains.
Port des Canonge:
Port des Canonge is a small gravel and pebble beach next to a small urbanization of the same name in the municipality of Banyalbufar, on the coast of the Sierra de Tramuntana.
Esporles:
Nestling in the valley fashioned by the Torrent de Sant Pere mountain stream, Esporles has a population of just over 4,000. Its economy was based on agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry, until, in the first half of the 20th century, a process of industrialisation began with the creation of soap, textile and paper factories supplied by the hydraulic power of the Font de sa Granja spring, while the new buildings were constructed in neo-classical and modernist styles.
