Arta, Mallorca
Arta’s new pedestrian zone makes this medieval town even more inviting and a variety of interesting shops, finca hotels and excellent restaurants attract the more knowledgeable travellers. There is a maze of narrow streets to be explored in Arta and the scenery is simply spectacular, especially viewed from the Arta castle hovering high above the village. Those seeking nature, tranquillity and a more sophisticated atmosphere have come to the right place. The entry prices for properties are below the Mallorcan average, but are increasing as the region around Arta becomes more popular. Real estate prices in the picturesque fishing village Colonia Sant Pere, for example, where the Spanish have their holiday homes, have been rising quickly due to an influx of artists who see the value of such a pristine area.
