Andratx was built slightly inland from the port to act as a defence against pirate attacks. Evidence of this can still be seen today around the upper part of the town with its narrow cobbled streets and the almost the fortress like church of Santa Maria. The view back over the old town to Puerto Andratx makes the uphill walk well worth while. During the 13th Century, Andratx was an important centre of the Mallorcan culture with the Bishop of Barcelona and King Jaime I having homes here.

"Away" from the hustle and bustle of the big tourist resorts, the town has managed to keep the essence of the island - the island of the calm. Andratx will satisfy your culinary tastes too, several well-known restaurants are also in town where you can discover the true taste of Mallorca with a touch of innovation.
