What to see in Biniaraix in Mallorca?
Biniaraix is a small village that is easy to explore. It boasts a charming café/bar, an ancient church, quaint cobbled streets, an old washhouse, and a square where mules were once loaded and unloaded.
The bar features an outdoor terrace, perfect for enjoying a freshly squeezed orange juice at the end of your walk. The church, dating back to the 12th century, with its white-tiled roof, has been featured in numerous paintings and advertising posters for the area. Spend some time in Biniaraix, and your imagination will be stirred: envision the lively conversations and gossip at the old wash stations. If you look closely at the stones, you might almost see the wear from countless years of scrubbing.
Another delightful experience is imagining the flow of citrus fruits and other goods that passed through here. In one spot, there’s a resting place carved into the rocks for mules, and in another, an apparent rest stop for their handlers. Take your time to wander through the cobbled streets and admire the beautiful, authentic stone houses; you might even find an open door inviting you to peek inside.
Don’t forget your camera – Biniaraix is like a picturesque Mallorca postcard.
