Pollença
07460 Pollença, Balearic Islands, Spain
Pollença is a picturesque historic town in northern Mallorca centred on the arcaded Plaça Major, where cafés, artisan shops and a lively market give a relaxed, authentic Mallorcan atmosphere; it’s also a convenient base for nearby Port de Pollença and the scenic Formentor peninsula.
What Makes It Special
The town is famous for the Calvari — a 365-step stone staircase that leads to a small chapel and offers sweeping views over Pollença, the surrounding hills and the bay beyond.
Insider Tips
Climb the Calvari early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and crowds, then reward yourself with breakfast or coffee on Plaça Major; note the old cobbled streets and steps can make moving around challenging for anyone with mobility issues.
