Capdepera (Catalan pronunciation: [ˌkab.dəˈpe.ɾə]) is a small municipality on Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands, Spain.
In 1300 James II of Aragon ordered the construction of a fortified village which would control the uninhabited land below and the maritime routes with Majorca.
As the danger of such attacks disappeared residents of the walled town started to relocate themselves at the bottom of the 162m hill which led to the development of modern-day Capdepera.
The better known town of nearby Cala Ratjada actually developed as the fishing and trading port of Capdepera and to this day operates a ferry service with neighbouring Menorca.
Autumn is the wettest season of the year, due to the cold drop episodes.
