Santa Margalida
07450 Santa Margalida, Balearic Islands, Spain
Santa Margalida is a traditional Mallorcan town and municipality on the island's north‑east coast, centred on a historic village with narrow streets and a parish church; its municipality includes coastal hamlets such as Can Picafort and the quieter Son Serra de Marina, making it a handy base to combine authentic inland Mallorca with nearby beaches and natural areas.
What Makes It Special
The municipality’s appeal lies in the contrast between genuine rural village life and immediate access to varied coastline — from family‑friendly resort stretches to windswept, less developed beaches — plus proximity to the important wetland reserve S'Albufera for nature lovers.
Insider Tips
For a quieter, more local experience, head to Son Serra de Marina for less crowded beaches and visit S'Albufera Natural Park at dawn or late afternoon for the best birdwatching; bring sun protection and water, as facilities are more limited outside Can Picafort.
