Pollensa

 

Set away from coastal crowds on the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, Pollensa is a beautiful, historic town with narrow winding streets and ancient architecture.

Pollensa provides the perfect base from which to explore the northern areas of Majorca, offering ideal opportunities for walking, hiking and sightseeing. Founded in the 13th century, Pollensa offers old-world charm, Baroque churches, Gothic chapels and a Sunday market held in the Plaza Major. Enjoy the friendly atmosphere of Pollensa's bustling town square or hire a car to experience the charm and beauty of northeastern Majorca.

Pollensa is a friendly resort, ideal for families and visitors wishing to relax, unwind and explore the local area. Climb the 365 stone steps to the chapel atop El Calvari and marvel at Majorca's beauty. There are several sandy beaches just a short drive from Pollensa - a few kilometres away is the town's port, Puerto Pollensa, or slightly further to the south from Pollensa is the ever-popular coastal town of Alcudia.

Evenings out in Pollensa are generally laid-back - there are a few restaurants and traditional bars around Pollensa's town square, the Plaza Major, where you can enjoy a meal and a quiet drink. The appeal of Pollensa is mainly due to its relaxed and noticeably 'local' feel, but if you fancy a livelier nightlife, head for nearby Alcudia.
