Living here

About 690 people live in Pina, a farming village on a low hill in the municipality of Algaida, out on the central plain. Fields surround its twin-towered 19th-century church and the convent where a Mallorcan order of nuns began. It is a quiet place, 35 to 40 minutes by car from Palma.

The village stands at about 150 metres, roughly 6 km by road north-east of Algaida, on the road to Lloret de Vistalegre and Sineu. Its name appears in the Llibre del Repartiment of 1232, the share-out of land after Jaume I’s conquest. The Ribas family bought much of the land in the 16th century, and the village grew up around an oratory and then the church. The parish church of Sant Cosme i Sant Damià was built in the 19th century, partly reusing an older church. Two square towers frame its front, each topped by a stone statue of a saint, and its crypt is dedicated to Sant Plàcid.

Beside the church is the founding house of the Franciscan Sisters, Daughters of Mercy, known as the Monges Blaves. A Mallorcan priest, Gabriel Marià Ribas de Pina, founded the order here with his sister in 1856. The convent’s two buildings stand either side of a street, joined by a small bridge. At the entrance to the village, the Font de Pina is fed by an underground channel (qanat) of Arab origin, with a small chapel over the outlet and public wash-houses. Pina lights Sant Antoni bonfires on 16 January, holds summer festivities in early July and a fair in September, and honours its patron saints on 26 September.

Public services in the village are limited. A market sets up in the square every Tuesday, and a public health post in the Can Lluís building opens on Monday and Thursday mornings. Algaida, about 10 minutes away, has a health unit open every weekday, the state primary school, a municipal nursery and a Friday market. Out-of-hours care is at the PAC in Llucmajor, and the hospital for the area is Son Llàtzer, on the edge of Palma. TIB line 432 links Pina with Algaida about every hour and a quarter, timed to meet line 403 to Palma.

Who buys here

Pina has grown by about half since 2001, from about 460 registered residents to about 690 in 2025, and it is still a small, quiet village. It works for people who want farmland around them, don’t mind driving to Algaida for school and a weekday doctor, and like having Palma and the airport within about 40 minutes.

Property

The small village grew up around the church on a low hill, where people settled to keep clear of the marshy ground nearby. East of the village, the Baixos de Pina, a drained former wetland, is farmed with irrigated crops, while the drier land to the north-west and south-west grows almonds, carobs and figs. About 160 of Pina’s residents live in scattered country houses rather than in the village. Several old windmills survive, some in the fields and one, the Molí de Pina, in the village. Before buying out in the fields, have a lawyer confirm that everything built is legal and registered, and whether there is a holiday-let licence.

Yes, with a change. TIB line 432 runs every day from Sineu through Lloret and Pina to Algaida, about every hour and a quarter, timed to meet line 403 to Palma’s Estació Intermodal. The trip takes about an hour, and on weekdays one early bus runs straight through to Palma.

Pina’s health post, in the Can Lluís building on Carrer de Sant Damià, opens on Monday and Thursday mornings. Algaida’s health unit opens every weekday, out-of-hours care is at the PAC in Llucmajor, and the area’s hospital is Son Llàtzer in Palma, about 25 minutes away.

Who are the Monges Blaves?

The Franciscan Sisters, Daughters of Mercy, a religious order founded in Pina in 1856 by a Mallorcan priest and his sister. Their founding house still stands beside the parish church, in two buildings joined by a small bridge over the street.
