Mallorca
Mallorca has a very special place in our hearts. We simply cannot wait to share this precious part of the world with each of you. In an effort to guide your experience in Mallorca, we have provided a few exploration recommendations for your convenience
Sightseeing
Es Colomer Viewpoint, Formentor/Puerto Pollensa - Way up in the Sierra Tramuntana mountain range near Puerto Pollensa, the Mirador d'es Colomer is perched over 300 metres above sea level on precipitous cliffs and has views to die for, so don't go too near the edge!
The Calvari Steps, Pollensa - A total of 365 steps, lined by cypress trees and fourteen three-metre-high crosses – a nod to Jesus and his crucifixion – lead to a tiny chapel at the top. From here, you can take in the spectacular views down to the coast and Cap de Formentor.
Port Pollensa Market - every Wednesday morning in Miquel Capllonch Square you will find a market with almost 200 stalls selling everything from fruit and veg to typical island products
Pollensa Market - every Sunday between 9am and 1.30pm the market in the centre of Pollensa attracts thousands of visitors with its stalls of local produce, arts and crafts. There are similar markets around the island every day of the week. Apart from Pollensa, we recommend to visit the markets in Santanyi (Wednesday and Saturday) and Alcudia (Tuesday and Sunday). This list shows all the days of the week for the best markets.
