Living here

Muro is an old farming town in the north of Mallorca, inland from the Bay of Alcúdia and about 45 to 50 minutes by car from Palma. It holds the town hall, health centre, schools and Sunday market for a municipality that also takes in the beach resort of Playa de Muro. Life here goes on all year, and the beach is a short drive away.

The town sits on a low rise, 83 metres above sea level, above the flat farmland that stretches towards s’Albufera and the Bay of Alcúdia. About 8,400 people live in the municipality, some 7,550 of them in the town itself, so it keeps a life of its own when the coast empties in winter. King Jaume II made Muro a vila in 1300, and in 1451, during the Revolta Forana, rebels from the countryside beat the governor’s troops in the battle of Muro. Its neighbours include sa Pobla, Llubí and Santa Margalida.

The parish church of Sant Joan Baptista rises over the centre. Its square bell tower, 46 metres tall and begun in the early 17th century, stands apart from the church, and a small bridge from inside the church leads to its upper part. Inside, the Baroque main altarpiece took from 1639 to 1787 to complete. The former Minim friary of Santa Anna, on Plaça del Convent, now houses the municipal music school. The bullring, La Monumental, seats about 4,800 and also hosts concerts and fiesta events. In September 2025 it held its first bullfight in eight years.

For everyday shopping there are food shops and supermarkets, and every Sunday morning a market around the main square sells fruit, vegetables, clothes, household goods, salt cod and olives. The public health centre opens on weekdays, and its urgent care point (PAC) covers evenings, nights and weekends. There is a state primary school, a state-funded private school and the IES Albuhaira secondary school, which teaches up to Batxillerat and vocational courses, plus a library, pool, sports centre and care home. The year turns on Sant Antoni in January, Holy Week, Sant Francesc de Paula in spring and the Sant Joan fiestas in June.

Muro has its own station on the train line from Palma to sa Pobla, though it sits about 2 km west of the town, on the road towards Llubí. It opened in 1878, closed in 1981 and reopened in 2000. TIB bus 312 links the town with Inca. The town hall publishes four walking routes of 5 to 11 km through the countryside around the town. The s’Albufera natural park and Playa de Muro are each 15 to 20 minutes away by car, and Alcúdia’s old town about 25.

Who buys here

Muro is a good match for people who want a town with its own services all year, and the beaches of the Bay of Alcúdia a short drive away. It works for buyers looking for a townhouse in or near the old centre, or a house in the countryside around it. The train, from a station about 2 km out of town, is an option for trips to Inca or Palma without driving.

Property

The old part of the town, around the church, has been a listed historic ensemble (conjunt històric) since 1974, with older townhouses and small squares. The town first grew around the Comtat, near la Riba, and later spread into quarters such as Son Moro, es Colomer, Porrassar, Son Font and Poble Nou, with newer areas and the Marjals industrial estate added in the second half of the 20th century. Outside town, lanes run between fields and small fincas behind dry-stone walls, past estates such as Son Parera and Son Jeroni. Out in the countryside, make sure every building on the plot is legal and registered; in the old centre, ask the town hall what changes are allowed.

Questions buyers ask

Is Muro town the same place as Playa de Muro?

No. Muro town is inland, with the town hall and most year-round residents, while Playa de Muro is the beach resort on the Bay of Alcúdia, 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Both belong to the same municipality, and in 2025 the town had about 7,550 residents against fewer than a thousand in the resort.

Can I get to Palma by train?

Yes. Muro station is on the line from Palma to sa Pobla, and the trip to Palma’s Estació Intermodal takes about 50 to 55 minutes. There are around 20 trains each way on weekdays and one an hour at weekends. The station is about 2 km west of the town, linked to it by a cycle path, and has a car park.

Is there a doctor and a secondary school?

Yes. The public health centre on Avinguda de Santa Catalina Thomàs is open on weekdays, and outside those hours its PAC handles urgent care. The Hospital Comarcal d’Inca, about 15 minutes away, is the public hospital for the area. The IES Albuhaira offers secondary education, Batxillerat and vocational courses.

When are the main fiestas?

Sant Antoni brings dimonis and bonfires on the eve, 16 January, and the blessing of animals on the 17th. On the night of Holy Thursday the town’s confraternities walk in procession. Sant Francesc de Paula, honoured since 1714, brings a fair of farming, crafts and livestock on the first Sunday after Easter, and the main fiestas, for Sant Joan, come in June.
