Are there towns near Palma known for producing citrus fruits?

On this island, the contrast between the bustling capital Palma and the quieter inland towns offers a great way to explore local agriculture. Places like Sóller, nestled in the Tramuntana mountains, are legendary for their lemon and orange groves, where citrus farming has been a way of life for generations. The fertile soil and microclimate along the Ma-10 road create perfect conditions for these fruits to flourish, and the scent of orange blossom in spring fills the air.

Further afield, towns such as Pollença and Alcúdia in the north continue the tradition of cultivating citrus, surrounded by peaceful orchards that visitors can admire or sometimes tour. Local markets in these towns often feature fresh oranges and lemons alongside artisanal products made from them, like marmalades or liqueurs. Sampling pa amb oli topped with sobrassada alongside a glass of Binissalem wine after a walk through citrus-scented lanes adds a sensory layer to your journey. For a quieter experience, villages like Búger and Maria de la Salut also reflect the island’s agricultural heritage, with many small farms still cultivating these vibrant fruits amid the lush island landscape.
