Fornalutx yes, and there are a number of other really pretty villages that could easily be given this accolade, Orient for example. But Alcudia and Pollença are towns not villages although I know there's argument about how to define either. Alcudia, perhaps at a push because of the walls, gates and being half pedestrianised. But Pollença? Really. I like Pollença but I would never have thought it would be on this list. If Pollença then why not Arta and Soller or Andratx? It can be a poison chalice though. Lots of day trip sightseeing that just cloggs up everything. I used to live near Finchingfield in Essex, often branded the most beautiful village in Essex. And it probably is. Coaches and motorbike clubs would congregate there every weekend making the place unbearable for the locals. I have heard that Fornalutx people are fed up with the congestion this accolade attracts too. On a local note, dog poo everywhere, abandoned buildings, some collapsing, graffiti and low level vandalism aren't what visitors would expect so if the authorities could sort that out first us locals might appreciate this accolade too.
