Nature

The isolated location of Fartaritx led to unique lifeforms with significant endemic flora and unique plants. There are various orchids and over ten species of ferns. There also the remains of the stone-oak forest, of an ancient autochthonous forest, as well as rare tree species such as the yew, the pine tree (Pi de sa Pedrissa), or the cedar (Cedre de Massanella).

History

In 1484, Pere Pont purchased the land called "alcaria a fartarig", which means a land in the valley of Fartarig, the valley of the springs (falcanig from the Latin = spring) (Coll de Fartàritx) to the north at the foot of the mountain "Puig de Ca"(876m). It borders the municipality of Escorca, the country of Fartàritx d'en Vila, Molinet, Minergran and Mola.

Weather

The temperatures on Fartaritx are about 4-6 degrees lower than on Mallorca overall. The rainfall is about 1,200 mm per year, but it is concentrated on a few weeks a year. Even snow in winter is not a rarity in the summit regions. Fartaritx is surrounded in the north and west by the sea, which provides a natural heat storage for balanced temperatures and a mild climate.
