The Majorcan town of Calvià dominates a land on the foothill of Sierra de Tramuntana, on the shore of the Mediterranenan. More than 50 kilometres that include cliffs, bays, beaches and isles, making it one of the roughest coast lines of the island of Majorca. Ancestral homes, country villas, fortresses and ancient mills are part of the main monuments found in this town, in addition to important prehistoric archaeological sites. The excellent cuisine typical of this region must be added to the many recreational activities available outdoors.
Surrounded by the mountains of Sierra de Tramuntana and only a few kilometres away from the Santa Ponça inlet, the town of Calvià stands the passage of time. Its history begins back in the 13th century, when different villages (inhabited by the peasants who worked the land) were united under a same name. However, this region had been inhabited since prehistoric times, as the many archaeological sites in the vicinity corroborate. Naveta Alemany, Puig de Sa Morisca and Turó de Ses Abelles are some of the best kept Talaiotic remains in the region. The artefacts from the site of Sa Mesquida are from the Roman period, from an ancient aristocratic country house.
