Despite its medieval origins, the town of Ferreries did not achieve official recognition and segregation from Es Mercadal until the mid 19th century. The people here are gradually distancing themselves from the traditional agricultural way of life. The transformations have given Ferreries a new lease of life, but the flavor of yesteryear has not been lost. It can still be sensed in the small streets surrounding the parish church of Sant Bartomeu and in the remodeled Placa Espanya where, on Saturday mornings, the handicraft and agricultural market is held.
Another new addition is the Nature Museum, a valuable contribution to the environmental protection policy. Close to the town, is the prehistoric archaeological dig of Son Mercer de Baix. From this point you can go down to the neighboring ravine of Sa Cova and take in a marvelous sight of its confluence with the Trebaluger ravine. Ferreries is also a host to some marvelous hotels.
