A special story
A journey through the pilgrim Majorca
What you may not have known about Majorca
We propose to recover one of the oldest reasons for travelling: pilgrimage. Majorca is the ideal place to do it.
Pilgrimage is a tradition that exists in several religions. The pilgrim, unlike the tourist, travels above all to get to know himself; we could say that it travels inwards.
Along the way, he discovers places that become, for him, means of conversion. And he shares his experiences and his things with the other pilgrims.
Spiritual Majorca has created this website with the intention of presenting a Majorca that goes beyond the sun and the beach. A Majorca where spirituality and heritage make up an extraordinary cultural landscape.
That is why we present Majorca peregrina as an emotional route that reaches the hearts and souls of Majorcans.
We propose to recover one of the oldest reasons for travelling: pilgrimage. Majorca is the ideal place to do it.
Perhaps someone will not believe it, but Majorca is an ideal place for the pilgrim. Because there is a deep tradition of pilgrimage. Especially in the sanctuary of Lluc, seat of the patron saint of the island and Marian place par excellence. But also to many other points. Majorca is teeming with living traditions, diverse nature, holy places, pilgrimages, pancharity,…
In Majorca you will find welcoming landscapes, unique temples and religious celebrations with a long tradition. If you search, you will discover a soul, a breath, something of which we are all part as human beings, fused in a natural and cultural environment of privilege.
"There is a sunrise and sunset every day, and they are absolutely free. Don't miss it."
– Jo Walton
Pilgrim. According to the diccionari.cat, this word comes from the Latin peregrinus and meant ‘foreigner, wanderer’. Drift from for and ager. Ager it meant ‘field’ (hence the word agrarian). Therefore, originally, a pilgrim would be someone who goes ‘through the ager‘, that is, ‘through the countryside’.
