Discover Port De Pollença

Port de Pollença can be explored through several specific highlights: the Wednesday market, annual regattas and a maritime procession, walks along the promenades, and the Cala-Bóquer hiking trail. There is also a bust of the painter Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa and landscape features in nearby L’Albufereta. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, you can consider whether you would rather focus your trip on a market day, a cultural theme, walks or time in nature.

Wednesday market

The Port de Pollença market takes place every Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Miquel-Capllonch Square. It has 197 stalls selling food, especially fruit and vegetables, as well as handicrafts, clothing, shoes, gifts, plants and other typical island products. So the market is not limited to food. If you would like to visit it, check the current schedule before your trip.

Regattas and maritime procession

The Real Club Nàutic Port de Pollença organises regattas every year; their schedules may vary. If you are travelling specifically for a regatta, check the exact date in advance. Another annual tradition is the maritime procession from the parish church of Mare de Déu del Carme. The figures of Sant Pere and Mare de Déu del Carme are taken out, and most of the harbour boats take part. The date and arrangements for the procession may also vary. The events are distinct: the regattas are organised by the club, while the two figures and the participation of the harbour boats shape the maritime procession.

The market takes place weekly, whereas the regattas and procession are annual events. If you would like to plan your stay around one of these occasions, check the specific event date before travelling.

Promenades, beach and art

The section of the Vora Mar Promenade offers a peaceful, relaxing walk. A bust of the painter Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa stands at the end of the Anglada Camarasa Promenade. Along the promenade by Llenaire Beach, also known as Els Tamarells, old pine trees provide shade in some sections. The beach is considered a peaceful place that inspired the English writer Agatha Christie and the Catalan painter Anglada-Camarasa. Anglada-Camarasa lived in the harbour.

Hiking trail, landscape and cycling

The Cala-Bóquer hiking trail begins on Avinguda de Bocchoris in Port de Pollença. Nearby, L’Albufereta features natural and semi-natural habitats, small lakes, canals and streams that carry water intermittently. Port de Pollença has bicycle rental shops where you can get the equipment you need for cycling. Check current providers independently if you plan to use this service.
