Discover S’Esgleieta
S’Esgleieta is a small settlement in Esporles municipality, beside the entrance to the valley and the road to Valldemossa. It has the scale of a hamlet rather than a larger town. Its church and surrounding houses fit into a landscape of fields and traditional routes.
A story to discover
Santa Maria de l’Olivar church, which explains the place’s name, is documented from the thirteenth century and was altered in later periods. It represents the continuity of a small gathering point on the approach to the Tramuntana valleys.
