Calvià Market
In the heart of the southwest, the Calvià Market brings colour and tradition to one of Mallorca’s oldest inland towns. Held every Monday morning, this is a lively weekly event that draws both locals and visitors from the nearby resorts of Palmanova, Santa Ponça, and Magaluf. While Calvià has developed as a modern municipality, its weekly market preserves a strong sense of community and rural charm.
History & Setting
Calvià town is the historic administrative centre of the region, set inland against a backdrop of rolling hills and farmland. The Monday market reflects this heritage, with stalls run by long-standing farming families and artisans who continue age-old traditions. Unlike resort towns where markets cater heavily to tourists, Calvià’s has a balanced mix, offering an authentic glimpse into everyday Mallorcan life.
Market Experience
Stalls line the streets around the Plaça de la Vila, filling the square with a variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, baked goods, clothing, shoes, household items, and flowers. You’ll also find stalls selling local cured meats, cheeses, and honey. The atmosphere is friendly and bustling, with cafés and terraces offering places to sit and enjoy the scene. For those staying nearby in coastal resorts, it’s an easy way to discover the inland character of Calvià.
Visitor Information
The market runs every Monday from 9:00 to 13:00, centred on Plaça de la Vila in Calvià town. Parking is available on the outskirts, with short walks into the centre. Buses from Palma and the nearby resorts also connect to the town. Arriving earlier in the day is recommended for the freshest produce and quieter browsing.
