We visited the town of Pollenca on a Sunday morning when the market is in full swing. To be honest it's much the same as any other Spanish market, but nice enough anyway. There were plenty of other tourists there and the guide books had warned us to park up outside the town and walk in rather than try and negotiate through the narrow streets, which proved to be a useful tip.
There are a number of Landmarks to look out for, such as the 365 steps to the Calvari, the Cockerel at Placa de L'Almoina, and the impressive church of our Angels in the centre of the town with it's large rose window.
Certainly worth popping in to if you're on your way to or from the Cape de Formentor, but conversely don't worry too much if you miss it. Leave a Comment

Valldemossa is a town we highly recommend visiting while in Mallorca. By car, it's only a 20 minute drive from Palma (maybe an hour by public transport). It's very scenic, with quiet, cobble-stone streets, and flower filled lanes with antique lanterns hanging above the homes. It's famous for being the getaway of Chopin and his partner George Sand (who wrote 'A winter in Mallora' there). In later years, the region seems to have been adopted by Michael Douglas, who has helped create the Costa Nord cultural center (located in Valldemossa) to highlight the North Coast region and Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca. For those who like culture and history, the center is something to check out. There are also numerous churches, Chopin's old piano in the house who once occupied. We simply just walked around and explored the town. Very nice.
I definitely recommend coming later in the afternoon after the bus groups have left so you can enjoy the solitude and charm of the town without the swarm of tourists. Also, drive from Valldemossa to Deia and then to Soller/Pt. de Soller. Deia is smaller but just as beautiful and more directly on the coast so you have really nice views. Pt. de Soller is great because there are tons of cafes next to the marina and the prices aren't bad for the location.
Parking: all over Valdemossa, parking lot directly across main road (maybe 1 EUR/hour)
Pt. de Soller has free parking just behind center/marina (next to dive shop)

It should be one the most big mountain street in Europe.
It's nice to look the street from the high.. you can see "a snake" along the mountain and a lot of cars and buses travel on... Leave a Comment
