Information about Selva, Mallorca

Selva is a picturesque mountain village located in the northern part of Mallorca, sheltered by the majestic Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. This enclave, with a rich Mallorcan tradition, has managed to preserve its essence over time, offering an authentic window into a quieter and more authentic version of the island. Strolling through its streets is an experience that invites calm, with the imposing Gothic church of Sant Llorenç standing out, whose access is marked by 42 steps that enhance its monumentality. In addition, in the heart of the village, you can admire historical details such as the Baroque cross of Valella, carved in limestone and declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

The municipality of Selva is not limited to its urban nucleus, but also includes small and charming villages such as Caimari, Moscari, Biniamar and Binibona, all of them with their own character and charm, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Tramuntana. These places invite explorers to discover the most authentic and less crowded Mallorca, with rural landscapes dotted with olive and almond groves, ideal for lovers of hiking and tranquillity. In addition to its natural and heritage richness, Selva comes alive every Wednesday with its weekly market in the Plaça Major, where visitors can enjoy the flavours and aromas of local produce, from fresh fruit and vegetables to unique pieces of Mallorcan craftsmanship.

Its proximity to the town of Inca also allows you to complement your visit with a shopping experience, especially at its famous market. With its unique natural environment, well-preserved traditions and charming surrounding villages, Selva is an ideal destination for those seeking an immersion in the most genuine and rural Mallorca, far from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy areas of the island.
