 Manacor
is lively, restless, accessible, rapidly growing, a great centre for
sport activities, shopping, industry and culture, including art and
is a commercial and industrial town and regional capital. The town
of Manacor is situated in a hollow which experiences the freezing
fogs of winter and the burning heat of the summer. It is surrounded
by a diversity of landscapes and a countryside where large manor
houses with defense towers dominate the horizon, former refuges for
those fleeing Burber pirate attacks. Today several of such towers
have been reconverted into establishments catering for agricultural
and rural tourism.
Manacor offers a wealth of historical remains including important
prehistoric sites from the Talaiotic era ( 1.200 to 900 BC ) such as
the megalithic remains of S'Illot Son Vaquer, Son Ribot or the site
of S'Hospitalet Vell, a Talaiotic village which due to its size and
monumental value is one of the most important on the island and also
one of the most enigmatic.
Manacor has recently experienced a great boom in tourism and the
nearby beaches are well attended in the summer. The recent boom has
encouraged an increase in the number of hotels, restaurants and
tourist attractions. It has also enabled the area to become more
organized. Most of Manacor's beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag
for safety and facilities. |
