Pla de Mallorca
Much of this area of the Island is dedicated to agriculture, animal farming and crop cultivation being a major part of local life. With the tourist boom of the 1950's, however, many residents have taken advantage of the increasing employment opportunities in Palma. Consequently, much of the agricultural importance of the region is maintained by only a select few residents who wish to remain true to the original agrarian lifestyles of the area. Many visitors arrive in Petra in large numbers to tour the former convent of Father Junipero Serra, founder of the mission system in Northern California. Local festivals venerate the former friar which regard him has a national hero. Alaro Castle, dating back to the time of the Moors, also provides a major draw for tourists offering spectacular panoramas of the surrounding olive and almond groves as well as the adjacent museum.Nightlife
