About Llubí
A village of just over two thousand people in the Pla, between Inca and Sineu. There’s a church above the rooftops, a square with old trees, a few shops and a bar.
There’s no major sightseeing attraction. The village itself is what you come to see.
Capers
Llubí is known on the island for capers, grown in the surrounding fields. Harvesting begins in June. Drive the country roads in summer and you’ll see low, spreading bushes along the field edges.
Why stop here?
For me, twenty minutes in a village like this can reveal more about everyday Mallorca than three hours in Palma, provided you’re happy with very little happening.
For cyclists, the area is especially pleasant, with flat, narrow roads and little traffic. Llubí sits conveniently between Inca, Sineu, Muro and Búger.
When to come
Choose February for almond blossom, or April and October to explore the surrounding roads. In July and August, the inland heat is intense and the village empties at midday.
Combine Llubí with Sineu, where the market is on Wednesdays, or with Búger and Campanet, all less than a quarter of an hour away.
