About Pollenca

Pollenca in the north of Mallorca is a charming small town at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana and one of the culturally richest places on the island. The 365 steps to the Calvary Mountain, the Sunday market days, and the annual Jazz Festival make Pollenca a favorite among Mallorca connoisseurs. The port of Port de Pollenca offers one of the most beautiful bays on the island with views of the Formentor Peninsula. Far removed from the Ballermann image, Pollenca combines Mallorcan authenticity with international culture.
