Market Halls in Palma
The two large market halls in Palma are open year-round and a must:
- Mercat de l'Olivar — the largest market hall in the city. Fish, meat, fruits, vegetables, cheese — all under one roof. Plus several tapas bars where you can eat fresh oysters or Jamon directly at the counter.
- Mercat de Santa Catalina — smaller, trendier, in the eponymous trendy district. Less touristy, more locals, excellent small food stalls, and a great atmosphere.
💡 Tipp
The market in Soller on Saturday morning is a must — combine it with a ride on the historic wooden train (Tren de Soller) from Palma. Arrive early (before 9 am), then it's not too crowded. The oranges and lemons from the Soller Valley are legendary.
