The old town of Pollensa nestles in the foothills at the eastern end of the Serra de Tramuntana and has its own individual personality, made up of many of its oldest traditions.
With its narrow streets, houses with ochre roofs, sunbaked walls and faded shutters Pollensa is a network of narrow and twisting medieval streets. The heart of the old town is the central square, Plaza Mayor, where there are many cafes-bars and restaurants.
Visit the famous Calvari with its 365 cypress lined steps (one for each day of the year) leading up to a tiny church high above the town. From here views extend across the rooftops of the town and as far as the bays of Puerto Pollensa and Alcudia together with the Puig de Maria mountain range.
Sunday morning sees the town transform from a peaceful haven to a bustling market with many craft stalls. From July 26th until August 2nd Pollensa has its own fiestas ending with The Battle of the Moors and Christians on the 2nd August.
Once a small fishing village, Puerto Pollensa is now without doubt one of the most attractive resorts on the island - famous for its outstanding beauty and scenery. Enjoy a stroll around the harbour where sleek international pleasure craft mingle with traditional fishing boats or take a stroll along the romantic Pine Walk. Here you will find a fantastic long sandy beach and an abundance of bars, cafes and restaurants.
Puerto Pollensa’s beaches are ideal for children and the atmosphere is very relaxing with no loud nightclubs and discos but a variety of boutiques and shops to choose from.
