Calvia is like an old lady who has won the loteria and doesnt know how to cope with her success. Until recently an unassuming country town, Calvia hit the jackpot when tourists discovered the nearby beaches and it is now said to be the richest municipality in Spain. There are a few ostentatious signs of wealth, like the sparkling new townhall and sports stadium, but mostly life continues as before, with ochre-coloured houses, a handful of shops and bars, and chickens scrambling between the olive trees. The town is dominated by the church of Sant Joan Baptsta, built in the late 19th century around the 13th century original; near here, by a fountain, a ceramic mural tells the story of Calvias history. Founded in 1249 with 80 inhabitants, the town had a population of 3,000 in 1960 and 11,560 in l980 all because of toursim. Stand on the terrace looking out over almond and carob trees and it is hard to believe you are just a few kilometres from the teeming resents of Maganova.
The area of Calviā has slowly developed over the years to become a popular destination for visitors to the island. Not surprising, its thanks to the nearby beaches that make this such a great place to stay.
With a great location, it is easy to explore other towns and villages in this area - the road systems in this area are particularly good. Some suggested places would be the town of Andraitx, including the port along the coastline as well as the city of Palma and the beaches around Palma Nova and Magaluf.
