Tàrbena & Surroundings

Explore Tàrbena and the Surrounding Area

Tucked into the mountains of the Marina Baixa, Tàrbena is a small, welcoming village where life still moves at a gentler pace. Surrounded by almond groves, pine forests and open ridgelines, it’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply and experience a more authentic side of rural Spain.

Whether you’re here to walk, eat well, or simply unwind, Tàrbena offers space, calm and a strong sense of local life.

Walking & Hiking in the Mountains

Tàrbena is a wonderful base for walking. Footpaths and tracks lead directly from the village into the surrounding hills, offering everything from easy morning walks to longer mountain routes with far-reaching views.

We’re always happy to suggest walks to suit your pace and the season — from shady woodland routes to open paths with views towards the coast.

Walking with Goats: A Unique Experience

For something truly special, we can help arrange a guided walk with Euro Goat Trekkers — a memorable experience walking alongside their friendly goats through the mountains around Tàrbena. We know the owners personally and love recommending this to guests looking for something calm, joyful and completely different. It’s a gentle way to explore the landscape, connect with nature, and enjoy the mountains at a relaxed pace.

Local Wine & Vineyard Visits

Tàrbena is home to a single, special vineyard: Viñedos Fullana — a small, organic mountain winery producing local wines with real character. We stock their wine here at Casa45, and because we have a good relationship with the owners, we can also arrange vineyard visits and wine tasting, either independently or with us.

Food here is simple, seasonal and rooted in tradition. Tàrbena is known for its organic mountain honey, made locally and flavoured by the wild herbs of the surrounding hills.
You’ll also find traditional dishes still prepared using original Mallorquí recipes — slow-cooked, comforting food that speaks of the village’s history and heritage.
