Pollença
Old town alleys, art, and the wide view from Calvary Hill
Historic old town, Calvary Hill, and vibrant culture
Pollença is located in northern Mallorca at the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana and is to be distinguished from the coastal town of Port de Pollença. Around the Plaça Major, narrow streets, cafés, and religious architecture meet. The most famous tour includes the ascent via the long staircase of the Calvary Hill El Calvari to an elevated viewpoint.
The Sant Domingo cloister is another cultural site and is also used for concerts. Outside the center, the Puig de Maria is ideal for a longer excursion. Art, local cuisine, and traditional festivals complement a visit to the town. The municipality's coastal destinations require a separate drive and are not part of the walkable old town tour.
