Sites & Bites: Fornalutx village tour with artisan ice-cream

Grab your camera for this half-day tour to the cute-as-a-button village of Fornalutx, in Majorca's scenic Serra de Tramuntana Mountains. And since this tour is part of our Sites & Bites collection, you can expect to level up your visit with some seriously good eats.Your transfers are included as standard, so you'll be picked up from your accommodation by your guide and taken to Fornalutx. On the way, you'll hear about the history of the village, which has been formally recognised as one of the most beautiful in Spain. Plus, the drive to Fornalutx follows winding roads that offer up some pretty incredible views of Majorca's interior, so don't forget to snap some pictures. When you arrive, your guide will tell you about some of the things you can see and do in the village, then you're free to wander around on your own. The first thing to do is go for a wander through the village's narrow streets – it's the best way to get a good look at all the stone houses here. There's a bunch of shops and cafes here, as well. Speaking of food, before you leave here, you'll have the chance to sample an ensaimada, a traditional sweet pastry.After your free time in Fornalutx, there's one more stop you'll make before heading back to your accommodation, a gelateria. Heladeria Fet a Soller is an artisan ice-cream shop that is known for offering up Majorcan-specific flavours in ice-cream form. Almond, lemon and orange are just a few of the heavy hitters this place has a reputation for, with the fresh fruits sourced from the Soller valley. Alongside sampling some of the creamy stuff yourself, you'll also be shown around the shop with a tour.
