Mallorca inédita

Documentary on the island of Mallorca, apparently unfinished and silent, which focuses on more picturesque aspects of the island, especially in rural areas, leaving aside the tourist clichés of sun and beach. We can see aerial views of the Serra de Tramuntana, Pla de Sant Jordi and its windmills, a peasant sowing at Farm Esporles, wheat fields and red poppies, prickly pears, views of the mountain town of Deia, sheep grazing on a field of olive trees, views of the Charterhouse of Valldemossa, lemon and orange groves, almond trees in bloom, etc. We also visit the centre of Palma: the Episcopal Palace and the Almudaina, the cloister of the convent of Sant Francesc, patios within stately homes, the port with fishermen mending nets, sailing clubs with their yachts. Finally, we can admire views of the north coast: Banyalbufar, Cala Deia, Forada, L'Estaca, Sa Calobra, the caves of Arta, etc.
