Calonge combines walking and cycling with a long local history: walking routes in the Santanyí municipal network pass through Calonge, and the Llogarets del Llevant cycling route follows the Ma-4012 to Calonge. The neo-Romanesque church dates from the beginning of the 20th century; Calonge has been documented since the 13th century. When planning your trip, you can weigh up activity and local history as separate priorities.

Walking Routes and Cycling

Walking routes in the Santanyí municipal network pass through Calonge. Details may change, so check the route before setting out. The Llogarets del Llevant cycling route is separate: it follows the Ma-4012 to Calonge. Check current conditions before cycling too. This allows you to consider the two route details separately when planning.

Local History and the Church in Calonge

Calonge has been documented since the 13th century, when it was owned by the Valentí de ses Torres family. Bartomeu Valentí, a canon of the Seu, belonged to this family. Calonge’s neo-Romanesque church dates from the beginning of the 20th century and was designed by Antoni Maria Alcosser. This places a record of the town’s history from the 13th century alongside a church built much later.

The following dates were scheduled for the 2026 Festes de Sant Miquel in Calonge and have now passed. On 19 September, the Posada de la Bandera procession was scheduled. The 19th Sa Fira de Calonge and the 10th fun run were both on the programme for 27 September. A comedy night with Agustín el Casta was scheduled for 29 September. On 3 October, Sant Miquelet, a children’s day, and the Gran Verbena «La Noche Baila» were planned.

Santanyí: Historic Centre and Culture in the Wider Destination

The following local and calendar details refer to Santanyí itself, the wider destination. Plaça Major is the centre of Santanyí, where festivals and the market take place. Alongside the town hall, the parish church of Sant Andreu is one of the square’s two main buildings. It was built from Santanyí stone. Construction began on 25 July 1786 and took 25 years. The church also houses a monumental Baroque organ from Palma’s Dominican convent.

El Roser and La Porta Murada are also part of Santanyí’s history. El Roser is the former parish church; it was built in the first half of the 14th century in a transitional style between Romanesque and Gothic. During pirate raids, El Roser regularly served as a refuge for the population and was therefore fortified. La Porta Murada is a gate tower in Santanyí’s 16th-century defensive walls.

Santanyí’s small lanes are also home to several art galleries and art workshops.
