Neighbouring Alaior

The island is small enough to get out and enjoy some exploration, and big enough to ensure that there are always new things to see and do. Nearby Alaior is the easiest place to get to. You can have fun shopping for the local crafts, especially the leather and rubber sandals, enjoy the cheeses and other wonderful foods, and take in the Moorish and Medieval architecture. If you’re lucky enough, you may even make it to the town festival.
