A petite, quiet town with a busy market on Thursdays and Saturdays, Campos is a place visitors often seek to escape the other more popular areas of the island. As a traditional village you can experience authentic Mallorca in the cries of the woman selling local goods and the small children running and playing in the streets and squares. It has remained very much as it always has been, which is why you'd find it hard not to fall in love with this serene little town. And, it offers a very convenient base to explore the south-east coast and the beautiful beaches of Sa Rapita and Es Trenc for a livelier day out.
Visiting the main square, be sure to visit Patisserie Pomar - considered the best patisserie on the island. A Mallorcan institution, it offers the finest typical cuisine: ensaimadas, meat pies and cocarrois, and a wide selection of cakes, pastries, chocolates and seasonal sweets. There’s also cafe inside to really appreciate the culinary delights. Another sight to behold is a painting of Christ by the renowned Sevilian artist Murillo, which hangs in the parish church of Sant Julia.
Inland, the dairy industry is very important to the municipality, which you'll see in the windmills dotted around the landscape, used to pump water around the various little farms. Campos is also home to a Majorcan speciality, the "Piris" cheese, which is allowed to mature in a mixture of brine and paprika for a few months before it is ready to eat. Be warned, it's delicious!
