Algaida is a quiet town in the centre of Mayorca (Mallorca) one of the Mediterranean Belearic Islands. Algaida is easily accessed from the Palma to Menacor freeway. Its a great base for a quiet country holiday, but the beaches of Playa de Palma are only 20 minutes drive from your Algaida hotel's door. Algaida is built of warm, rose-colored sandstone and has the typical Mallorcan layout of narrow, pavement-less roads all of which head to the central square. The square is dominated by a beautiful sandstone church.
The main attraction in Algaida is the famous glass factory, Ca'n Gordiola, housed in a mock-castle on the fringe of the town. The glass factory offers tours to watch glass being hand-blown and there is also a glass museum. Confirm opening hours with your Algaida hotel. Eating out is a delight and if you are not self-catering at a budget Algaida hotel then head out along the road to Manacor where there is a string of busy restaurants serving traditional Mallorcan cuisine. Booking with EasyToBook.com will give you a great choice of discount Algaida hotels.
