Algaida is a typical rural majorcan village, situated in the fertile center plain, the Pla de Mallorca near the hills of Randa, 20km east of Palma.

In the small village (approx. 3.200 inhabitants) surrounded by a hilly country with fields, almond tree plantations and pine woods, you will find several old mill towers and a gothic church dated from the 14th-15th century.

Around the market square there are bars and shops and here every Friday morning the local farmers offer their fruits and vegetables.

A nice walk leads through a shady wood up to the small Ermita de la Pau, the oldest testimony of the christianity in Majorca. You will find an absolutly idyllic spot, where you can enjoy the magic of the surrounding. The Peter-and Paul-Church, that was built in the 13th century by the catalan conquerors, has a portal of roman-byzantine style.
