human settlement in Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Raiguer is a comarca (county) in the north-central part of Mallorca. Raiguer is a transition zone from the mountains to the Es Plà plain in the middle of Mallorca. There is plenty of water here, but little flat, cultivable terrain. The region of the Raiguer and in particular the city of Inca are known as the centre of the shoe and leather craft in Mallorca.
