The traditional market in Pollensa (Pollença) Old Town is held every Sunday morning. It is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and authentic markets on the island of Mallorca. The market typically runs from 8:00 AM until about 1:30 PM and takes over the main square (Plaça Major) and the surrounding narrow, winding streets. Visitors can find an incredible array of local produce, including Balearic cheeses, cured meats (sobrasada), olives, and fresh fruit, alongside traditional handicrafts like the "llengües" (tongues) fabric and hand-woven baskets. It is highly recommended to arrive early—before 10:00 AM—to beat the heat and the large tourist buses that arrive from the nearby coastal resorts of Port de Pollença and Alcúdia. Sunday is also a great day to visit because the local shops remain open, and the atmosphere is vibrant with locals enjoying a "vermut" or coffee at the outdoor cafes. If you miss the Sunday market, there is a smaller market in the nearby Port de Pollença on Wednesdays, but it lacks the historic charm of the Sunday event in the mountain-fringed Old Town.
