Living here

The municipality of Algaida covers close to 90 square kilometres in the south-west of the Pla, Mallorca’s central plain, between Palma and Montuïri. About 6,350 people live in its three villages, Algaida itself, Pina and Randa, and in the country houses scattered between them. This is rural Mallorca, yet Palma and the airport are only 25 to 40 minutes away.

Algaida is the largest municipality in the Pla de Mallorca comarca. It borders Palma to the west, Llucmajor to the south, Montuïri to the east, and Santa Eugènia, Sencelles and Lloret de Vistalegre to the north. Most of it is flat farmland. Thin, closely divided soils in the north-west are planted with almonds, the better land around Pina grows cereals and vines, and towards Palma pine woods and scrub mix with almond, fig and carob trees. In the south the land rises into the Randa massif, covered in pine, scrub and holm oak and topped by the Puig de Randa. Its higher ground is a protected natural area (ANEI).

The town hall is on Carrer del Rei in Algaida, and it names a village mayor (batle) for Pina and another for Randa. Algaida town holds most of the services: the nursery and the state primary school, a library, a music school, the Friday market and a public health unit open every weekday. Pina has a Tuesday market and a health post open two mornings a week, and Randa’s health post opens for two hours on alternate Wednesdays. All three come under the Llucmajor health centre, which runs the out-of-hours service (PAC), and the hospital for the area is Son Llàtzer in Palma.

The Ma-15, the main road from Palma to Manacor, crosses the municipality from west to east, passing just north of Algaida town. From Randa, the quicker way to Palma is south through Llucmajor and onto the Ma-19 motorway. The railway that once stopped in Algaida closed in 1967, so buses are the only public transport. TIB line 403 runs from Algaida to Palma about every 75 minutes, line 432 brings Pina’s passengers to Algaida in time to meet it, and line 431d, listed as a demand service, links Algaida, Randa and Llucmajor. Outside Algaida town, plan on driving.

Each village keeps its own calendar. Algaida’s Cossiers, six dancers with a lady and a devil, dance for Sant Honorat in January and Sant Jaume in July, and the Fira d’Algaida is held each October. Pina holds summer festivities in early July and honours its patron saints on 26 September, and Randa lights bonfires for Sant Honorat in January. On the Tuesday after Easter, people gather at the 13th-century church of Castellitx, out in the fields, for a pilgrimage and a country outing. Above Randa, the hermitage of Sant Honorat and the sanctuary of Cura draw walkers and visitors up the Puig de Randa.

Who buys here

The population has roughly doubled since 1979, from about 3,000 to about 6,350 in 2025. Most residents live in or around Algaida town; Pina has about 690 and Randa about 120. In 2025 just under 1,000 residents held a foreign nationality, and INE’s 2022 figures by country put Germans first, ahead of Romanians and Britons. It makes sense for anyone who wants a working rural community in the middle of the island, with Palma, the airport and Son Llàtzer hospital all within 20 to 40 minutes.

Property

There are three broad choices. The old cores of Algaida, Pina and Randa are mostly traditional village houses, built wall to wall in the centre of Algaida town, while towards the edges of Algaida most houses are detached, some with pools. The rest is countryside: in 2025 INE counted about 2,500 people living in scattered houses outside the three village cores, most of them around Algaida town. Planning runs on the municipal Normes Subsidiàries, and the heritage catalogue on the town hall’s website is the provisionally approved version. For a country house, ask a lawyer to confirm that each building on the plot is legal and registered.

How Algaida breaks down

  1. The main town and seat of the town hall, just south of the Ma-15, home to most of the municipality’s residents. It has the nursery and primary school, the weekday health unit, the Friday market and the Cossiers. Palma is 30 to 35 minutes away.

  2. A farming village of about 690 people on a low hill about 6 km by road north-east of Algaida, with a twin-towered church, the convent where the Monges Blaves began, a Tuesday market and a health post open two mornings a week.

  3. A village of about 120 people at the foot of the Puig de Randa, between Algaida and Llucmajor. The road up to the sanctuaries of Gràcia, Sant Honorat and Cura starts here, and the village has few services of its own.

Pros and cons

For

  • Airport 25 to 35 minutes away, central Palma 30 to 40
  • A choice of a working town, two small villages or open farmland
  • Puig de Randa and its sanctuaries in the south of the municipality
  • Markets in Algaida and Pina, the Cossiers and fiestas in each village

Against

  • The sea is 20 to 30 minutes away, at the Bay of Palma
  • Secondary pupils go to Llucmajor; a local school is only announced
  • Pina and Randa have few services and only part-time health posts
  • Buses are sparse; outside Algaida town you will need to drive

Questions buyers ask

What does the municipality of Algaida include?

Three villages, Algaida, Pina and Randa, and the farmland around them, from the almond groves towards Palma to the Puig de Randa in the south. About 6,350 people live there, most of them in or around Algaida town, where the town hall is.

Which village should I look in?

Algaida town has the school, the weekday health unit, the Friday market and most of the shops. Pina is a small, quiet farming village about 10 minutes away, and Randa is a tiny village at the foot of the Puig de Randa with few services of its own. Country houses spread across the whole municipality suit those who want space and are happy to drive.

What are the journey times to Palma and the airport?

By car outside rush hour, central Palma is 30 to 35 minutes from Algaida town and 35 to 40 from Pina and Randa, and the airport is 25 to 35 minutes away. TIB bus 403 runs from Algaida to Palma’s Estació Intermodal in 35 to 40 minutes.

What are the school options?

The municipal nursery and the state primary school, CEIP Pare Bartomeu Pou, are both in Algaida town. For secondary school, pupils are assigned to IES Llucmajor. In 2024 the Balearic government announced a new secondary school for Algaida, so ask the town hall how far it has got.

What about holiday lets?

A tourist-rental licence is essential, and new ones are scarce. Under the 2025 rules flats could no longer be registered for holiday lets anywhere in Mallorca, and the few new places the Consell de Mallorca put on sale were open only to people who had owned the home for at least three years. A property that already holds a licence, checked by a lawyer, is the safer route.
