Ariany

A hidden gem in the Pla de Mallorca

History and autonomy

The most important milestone for Ariany was its independence from Petra in 1982, an achievement that highlights the resilient and autonomous spirit of its inhabitants. This autonomy has allowed the village to shape its future, keeping alive the passion for its roots and the management of its development.

Heritage and traditions

Ariany has a landscape dominated by traditional agriculture. The village also boasts a rich archaeological heritage, with more than thirty sites of Cultural Interest. The parish church of the Virgen de Atocha and the church square are particularly noteworthy.

Local festivities

The celebration of Sant Marçal, the patron saint of the village, is a central event in Ariany. Held in June, it combines religious and festive activities, offering visitors and locals alike an unique cultural experience.

This charming corner of the Pla de Mallorca is a living testimony to Mallorcan history and culture, ideal for those seeking authentic experiences away from the tourist crowds.

For the little ones

There are two playgrounds in the municipality, one in the Plaza Mayor and the other in the area where the sports facilities are located, about 200 meters from the town center, following the Calle Mayor to the east. As it is a very quiet municipality, you can take the youngest members of your family for long walks along its streets and cycle paths. And in summer you can enjoy the municipal swimming pool.

During the patron saint’s fiestas, activities are organized for the whole family, such as devil rides, children’s concerts, water activities, etc.
Sports activities

It has a paddle tennis court, a 7-a-side football pitch, tennis courts and a municipal swimming pool, but the main sports are cycling and walking and running along its paths.
