September in Andratx and Puerto de Andratx: A Guide to Experiences
September is a magical month in Mallorca, and Andratx, along with its charming port, is no exception. With the summer heat fading and before the autumn rains arrive, this corner of the island's southwest offers a perfect blend of outdoor activities, cultural events, and gastronomic experiences.
Andratx: The Historical Heart
The village of Andratx, rich in history, invites you to wander its cobblestone streets. In September, without the summer tourist crowds, you can enjoy a peaceful stroll through the old town.
From La Pérgola, we recommend visiting the Church of Santa María, a beautiful example of Mallorcan Gothic architecture. Then, head to the Son Mas Tower, now converted into the town hall, which offers a glimpse into the island's defensive architecture.
Visit the Weekly Market
On Wednesdays, the weekly market in Andratx comes alive, and in September, it’s more pleasant than ever, showcasing typical autumn products. Here's what you can find:
- -Local seasonal produce like figs, almonds, and grapes.
- -Local crafts, perfect for taking home an authentic souvenir.
- -A lively atmosphere that’s not overwhelming, ideal for mingling with locals and visitors.
