Due to the popularity of the Mallorca Files series, a map has been created with the filming locations in Mallorca used in each episode. The map is divided into 5 routes:
Palma City
Serra de Tramuntana Mountains(world heritage site)
Central and south Mallorca
Levante Area
North Mallorca
The Mallorca Files: stylish, sassy, a little bit saucy and sometimes quite serious, is the BBC hit series that has wowed audiences with its crime-based drama in an "exotic"(lol....ok.) location. Mallorca.
The Mallorca Files is a co-production between the UK’s BBC and German channel ZDF. Both series 1 and series 2 were filmed in Mallorca and the show was a hit from the very beginning, with an audience of 6 million tuning in for the first series despite its being broadcast in the middle of the afternoon. It has since been sold to 80 other countries to be aired on TV channels around the world.
As well as being an entertaining series, The Mallorca Files is an ideal way to discover Mallorca without moving from your armchair, as some of the locations used in filming are among the most emblematic monuments, stunning beaches, gorgeous landscapes and quaint villages the island has to offer. Our local experts at Click-Mallorca.com have selected for you the best of The Mallorca Files filming locations to visit and have put together a great post with information from the show and top tips for your visit.
The Soller Train is over 100 years old and still retains its original wooden carriages. The journey takes you between Soller and Palma through quaint hamlets in the countryside, through tunnels in the mountains and on a panoramic ride overlooking the Soller Valley where the views are to die for. If you want to continue the time travel experience, hop on the tram, which will take you from Soller down to Puerto Soller on a 20-minute ride through orange groves and practically through people’s back gardens.
If you are pressed for time and want to see as much of the mountain area as possible, take the Island Tour, which includes the Soller train, the tram and a stunning 45-minute boat trip to Sa Calobra. You will have free time in Sa Calobra, one of the most impressive beaches on the island. Which brings us to our next stop on The Mallorca Files filming locations tour:
Season 1, episode 2: “King of the Mountains”
A top Mallorcan cyclist disappears during a routine training session. Max and Miranda suspect one of Domenech’s teammates, Philippe Tromeur, or the manager of a rival team, Terry Davies, who are both convinced Domenech has been taking performance-enhancing drugs, despite him never failing a drug test.
Once you reach Sa Calobra itself, you find yourself on one of the most stunning beaches on the island, completely surrounded by dramatic cliffs. Walk through the passage in the rock to the beach by the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis Gorge before taking the boat round to Puerto de Soller.
There is another way to reach Sa Calobra and that is on a spectacular hike from Escorca, down through the bed of the gorge (which is dry in the summer) and down to the beach. This is a challenging rocky trek and one that must be done with a professional guide. Click here for more information about hiking the Torrent de Pareis.
If you want to step into Max and Miranda’s shoes and experience the Palma of The Mallorca Files then you need to look out for the following places:
Actually, while the interior shots of the bullring in this episode were filmed at the Plaza de Toros in Palma, the exterior shots were filmed at the bullring in the north east of the island in the quiet inland town of Muro, a picturesque walled hillside town, brimming with sandstone buildings.

Rancho Grande Mallorca
The horse riding episode of The Mallorca Files is filmed at Rancho Grande, the biggest horse riding stables on Mallorca, located in Son Serra de Marina on the Bay of Alcudia. The horse riding ranch offers many great experiences to visitors and you don’t need to have prior experience to participate (a bit like our detectives!). The most fun option at Rancho Grande is a fun family experience suitable for all ages which takes place in the late afternoon/early evening. An hour’s horse riding is followed by a hearty barbecue meal and music and dancing. Participants are split into groups according to horse riding ability for the 1-hour session and beginners file through the woods on horses that know exactly where they are going, while experienced riders canter on the horizon and may reach as far as the beach.The Famous Soller Train
The famous train of Soller as well as the town by the same name are the dramatic location for this installment of The Mallorca Files. The whole area is just as beautiful in real life as it is on TV and, if you are going to visit any of The Mallorca Files locations, this is the one not to miss.The Soller Train is over 100 years old and still retains its original wooden carriages. The journey takes you between Soller and Palma through quaint hamlets in the countryside, through tunnels in the mountains and on a panoramic ride overlooking the Soller Valley where the views are to die for.

Max and Miranda suspect one of Domenech’s teammates, Philippe Tromeur, or the manager of a rival team, Terry Davies, who are both convinced Domenech has been taking performance-enhancing drugs, despite him never failing a drug test.
Sa Calobra
On the mountainous Ma-10 road, The Mallorca Files reproduced a professional cycling race mixed with real footage of Mallorca’s own cycling race. We don’t suggest doing it on a bike, but a drive down this road to Sa Calobra is an absolute must (especially if you are not the one doing the driving). The mountain views and those of the west coast are to die for. The part of the road that bends 360 degrees to go back under itself is one of the most photographed spots on the island.Once you reach Sa Calobra itself, you find yourself on one of the most stunning beaches on the island, completely surrounded by dramatic cliffs. Walk through the passage in the rock to the beach by the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis Gorge before taking the boat round to Puerto de Soller.

This is a challenging rocky trek and one that must be done with a professional guide. Click here for more information about hiking the Torrent de Pareis.
Palma City
Many episodes of The Mallorca Files are filmed in and around Palma City itself. Palma is the capital of Mallorca and of the Balearic Islands and is home to almost half a million people. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean and the image of the Gothic Cathedral in front of the sea is a hard one to beat. You should definitely spend at least a day of your holidays in Palma strolling around the old town, sampling tapas and enjoying the views from Bellver Castle or from the old walls.If you want to step into Max and Miranda’s shoes and experience the Palma of The Mallorca Files then you need to look out for the following places:
Plaza Major
The Plaza Major is one of the biggest squares in Palma and it is slap bang in the middle of the city. The square hosts seasonal markets and fairs and even concerts. It is enclosed by 19th century mansions and bars and cafes spill onto the square making this a great place to sit and soak up the atmosphere over a beer or an ice cream while watching the bustling market stalls or street entertainers. From the Plaza Major you can walk along any of Mallorca’s most famous streets: Calle Sindicato, Calle San Miguel, La Rambla or Jaime II Street, which will take you to the town hall.Plaza de Toros
“Death in the Morning”, the 8th episode of The Mallorca Files, looks at the brutal murder of a famous British author and anti-bullfighting campaigner and is filmed at Palma’s emblematic Plaza de Toros (Bullring). More than for actual bullfights, the Plaza de Toros in Palma is currently better known for its sporting uses and, above all, for being the place where the most massive summer concerts are held.Actually, while the interior shots of the bullring in this episode were filmed at the Plaza de Toros in Palma, the exterior shots were filmed at the bullring in the north east of the island in the quiet inland town of Muro, a picturesque walled hillside town, brimming with sandstone buildings.
Porto Pi
In “To Kill a Stag”, when a groom is murdered in the pool of a large mansion during his bachelor party before the eyes of Max and Miranda, they investigate around the environment of the casino, shot at Casino de Mallorca in Porto Pi. Porto Pi is a huge commercial centre at the far end of the port of Palma with shops, restaurants, cinema and the casino.Paseo Maritimo
If you are in Palma for a night out, then head to the seafront area known as the Paseo Maritimo where the biggest and most exclusive nightclubs have their prestigious location. Several of the Mallorca Files were filmed here, including the cabaret club scene in “Mallorca’s Most Wanted”, “Friend Henry” in which a famous DJ appears dead and the detectives’ investigation takes place in a Palma nightclub and the very first epsiode of The Mallorca Files also found Max and Miranda on the Paseo Maritimo.

Deep in the Tramuntana mountains
The island is well-known among cycling enthusiasts who flock to Mallorca to train in the spring. Especially illustrious among the pros (and those who want to follow on their footsteps) are the hairpin bends of Sa Calobra, where the second episode was filmed. This gruelling climb has a height gain of 668m metres in under 10km, with an average gradient of 7% which tops at 12%. The road takes you through some of the best scenery in Mallorca, going deep into the Tramuntana mountains to the little beach of Sa Calobra, a unique cove with spectacular views.Luxury villas & hotels
Glitz and glamour are also a big part of Mallorca, an island that draws hosts of VIPs every summer, keen to sunbathe on its beaches and explore its mountains where they can find the privacy they crave. Luxury villas and hotels are their accommodation of choice, and there's no shortage of them in Mallorca. Just like The Night Manager showcased some of the most opulent establishments in Mallorca including La Fortaleza and Son Julia Hotel, The Mallorca Files was shot in some magnificent private villas in Palma Bay, Magaluf, Muro and Calvià. The team behind the BBC show also set some of the scenes in the five-star Hospes Maricel Hotel and the quaint Ses Cases del Virrey boutique hotel in Inca.More inspiration...
Gorgeous beaches, world-renowned cycling routes, internationally recognised wines, top-class luxury hotels and villas, historical sights, picturesque rural towns and a bustling, cosmopolitan capital city – The Mallorca Files reflects the wide variety of things on offer on the island. The perfect destination whether you're a beach bum, a culture vulture, a wine aficionado, a sports buff, a city dweller or a countryside explorer.
