An enchanting Mallorcan town packed with ancient blonde stone architecture, winding lanes, sunny squares lined with tapas restaurants, galleries and cafes.
In the northern part of Mallorca, tucked between two hills, lies a picturesque spot – the ancient rural town of Pollensa.
Although the majority of the buildings in Pollensa were built in the 17th and 18th centuries, this is a town rich in history dating back to mediaeval times.
Enjoy Roman Bridge – one of the oldest historical landmarks in the town, or wander around the local market on Sunday morning when Plaça Major is filled with market stalls and the locals congregate after church to relax in the cafes. Whatever you decide to do, Pollenca has much to offer to all tastes.
Renting a holiday villa in Pollensa provides a true Mallorcan experience allowing guests to immerse themselves in the town’s enchanting atmosphere. However it is also worth exploring a little more to discover the gems in the surrounding area.
From its numerous narrow streets to its vibrant cultural scene, Pollensa presents unspoiled beaches, lush countryside, cycling routes and gourmet dining options for travellers seeking relaxation and authenticity.
Pollensa boasts a rich culinary scene, with local restaurants celebrating the region’s flavours. Menus showcase seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby markets and artisanal producers.
