Apartments in sa Pobla: Accommodation by the beach
Sa Pobla is in the district of Raiguer on Majorca, a municipality in the northeast of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Its mild climate, with hot summers and pleasant winters, has turned it into a reference point for those who love good weather. Its wonderful natural scenery attracts hikers and the cuisine attracts foodie enthusiasts. Its name in Catalan, sa Pobla, means "La Puebla" and in 1315 it was founded as "Pobla de Huyalfas", meaning water in the meadow in Arabic, due to its location in an area rich in agricultural production. Currently, the island lives off tourism and the cuisine also plays an important role in this tourism industry. The potato is the community's most popular product. Another aspect of the tourism industry is the wide variety of activities, among which are bicycle tours, hiking, bird watching and visits to archaeological sites. One of the main attractions of sa Pobla is the Natural Park S'Albufera, which reaches Muro, where you can find the greatest diversity of flora and wildlife in all of the Baleares. At the park you can go on day trips, guided tours, observe the flora and wildlife or take scenic pictures. For those who are interested in the history of the Catholic dominance, there is also a very interesting tour of different shrines. It's an ideal place to rent one of our sa Pobla apartments and disconnect from the stress and pace of everyday life.
