Campanet is a village with one of the most strategic locations in Mallorca, it is located in a high area that served as a watchtower in the past, and has the sea and the mountains “at a stone’s throw”.
All the information we give you in Yo soy Mallorca is from our personal experience and from the love we have for this island. But I must admit that this article is special for us because “Campa”, as we call it, is our place of residence where we live with our two cats, Oba and Lola,
The municipality has an area of 35.70km², borders with Pollença, Sa Pobla, Búger, Selva and Escorca, and is located in relief, 132 meters above sea level, probably with a defensive purpose like its neighbor Búger.
Campanet is practically at the foot of the Sierra de Tramuntana, the mountain range that crosses the northern part of the island longitudinally, and has as its “neighbour” one of the best beaches in Mallorca: Playa de Muro, which is only 25′ away by car.
This small village is a place of passage for many people who practice cycling in Mallorca, as it is one of the points where many cycling routes from the north converge.
History of Campanet
The origins of this town are explained in its name, here we tell you all about the history of Campanet.
How to get to Campanet
This beautiful town has five entrance gates:
- The Camí Vell d’Alcudia (old Alcudia road) which, as its name indicates, was the old road that came from Alcudia. This road is a complete spectacle as it crosses longitudinally the valley that connects with Pollença and follows the path of the Torrent de Sant Miquel, which receives flow from different torrents: d’en Carrós, Comafreda, Casellas, Costurer, and the Torrent de Sa Mina. Accessed from here you are sure to see an abundance of flora and fields of many types of crops. On this road you will be able to enjoy Ses Fonts Ufanes.
- The Camí Vell d’Inca (old road of Inca) which corresponds to the old road that communicated with the town of Inca and the villages of the Raiguer. Along this path you will have privileged views of the Sierra de Tramuntana and you will be able to see ancient constructions such as Roman bridges. The previous village on this road is Moscari.
- The Camí de Selva (Selva road).
- The Camí Vell de Pollença (Ancient Pollença road)
- On the highway. This road has the steepest gradient of all the entrances to the village, so if you are a cyclist, this is of interest to you.
Going to Campanet by car
You can reach Campanet by car this way:
- From Palma by car it is about 37′ along the Ma-13 motorway.
- From the east of the island, for example from Manacor, on second level regional roads, you will pass through villages in the Pla de Mallorca such as Sineu, which is worth a stop to see its Wednesday market.

Another option to get there is by public transport such as bus and train from Palma. Both are taken in the Parque de las Estaciones. The arrival time for both is similar, so you just have to decide which of the two means of transport is the one you like best:
