Alaró (Balearic Catalan: [ələˈɾo]) is a small municipality in the district of Raiguer on Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands in Spain.
History
Alaró's origin dates back to the Islamic period. The documented history begins in the thirteenth century, during the reconquest of Mallorca, with its Castell d'Alaró being the center of this. The Castell d'Alaró was built by Christian inhabitants to ward off invasions from pirates.
The town was the first to have an urban electricity network on the island. This event happened on August 15, 1901. Currently, electric distribution is unified with the rest of the island, but as a sign of how important it was for the island of Mallorca, on May 8, 2000, the Consell Insular de Mallorca marked the tower of the old factory as a monument of cultural interest.
