Petra is a town and municipality on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, in the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. "Petra" means "rock" in Latin.
Petra is the birthplace of St. Junípero Serra (1713-1784), a Franciscan friar who founded the first nine of 21 Spanish missions in California from San Diego to San Francisco.

By bus: check the regional bus timetables, they change by season. If you come without a car, confirm the last service back before you leave.
We only list verified numbers. The town hall itself will give you the number of the clinic or the pharmacy.
There are no events in Petra's calendar yet, so any month works. Ask us about the local festivals: almost every village has one.
Spring
Fields in bloom and good walking temperatures.
Summer
Hot at midday; festivals tend to cluster in these months.
Autumn
Golden light, mushroom season and fewer visitors.
Winter
Cold and short days. Life gathers in the bar and the square.
