Establiments

Establiments is a municipality located in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range on the island of Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. It is situated in the northwest of the island, about 20 kilometers from the capital city of Palma. The municipality is characterized by its mountainous terrain, with significant elevation changes and a landscape dotted with olive groves, pine forests, and traditional Mallorcan dry-stone walls.

Historically, the area was known for its agricultural activity, particularly olive oil production. The name "Establiments" itself is believed to derive from the Latin word "stabulum," referring to a stable or farmstead, indicating its rural origins. Over time, it has seen a shift towards a more residential character, attracting residents who appreciate its tranquil environment and proximity to nature while still being accessible to urban amenities.

The municipality encompasses several small villages and hamlets, each with its own charm. The main urban center is also named Establiments. The natural surroundings offer opportunities for hiking and exploring, with numerous trails winding through the mountains. The local economy, while still retaining some agricultural elements, is now also supported by tourism and services. The area's natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere are its defining features.
