Market Day in Historic Pollensa
The town of Pollensa (Pollença), nestled at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains, hosts one of Mallorca’s most beloved markets every Saturday morning. With its historic setting and lively atmosphere, it’s a highlight for both locals and visitors in the island’s north.
History & Setting
Pollensa is known for its rich history, charming stone streets, and cultural heritage. The market takes place in the Plaça Major, the town’s main square, overlooked by the impressive 18th-century church of Nostra Senyora dels Àngels. The surrounding narrow streets add to the character, making market day a perfect time to explore the old town.

Live music or street performers often add to the vibrant atmosphere, and the cafés lining the square are perfect for a leisurely break.
