We love to visit the markets - there are so many available here at Majorca. You just shall decide, which kind of market: fruits- and veggie, a market with animals, a jumble or a art-market. But be aware, sometimes there is no difference between a jumble- or a art-market.
Saturday morning you will find a jumble-market at the avenidas (streets) of Palma and sunday morning in Consell (end of the village, left) and in Inca a art-market, combined with a Fiesta, which every village or city do have minimum once a year. On Wednesday morning you will find a market in Sa Coma and in all villages you have a weekly-market on 1 - 2 days during the week. Of course you can find on these weekly markets not only fruits or veggis, more over you can buy jewellery, bags, clothings, plants, household goods, african art and a lot of oddities or things you never need.
Sineu has the biggest market (Wednesday morning). Here you really can find "everything", as well animals. Weekly markets you find Saturday moring in Soller/Manacor /Cala Ratjada /Alaro, Sunday morning in Alcudia/Consell /Inca/ Llucmajor/Muro /Santa Maria /Valldemossa , one of the most beautiful one is in Pollensa (a beutiful village even if there is no market). Just study the "Mallorca Newsletter" and you will find all dates and places where to go.
The dos: Monday in Manacor, Tuesday in Alcudia /Arta /S'Arenal, Wednesday in Andratx/Capdepera /Llucmajor/Port de Pollensa, Thursday in Inca /S'Arenal/ Ses Salines, Friday in Can Picafort/Inca /Son Servera /Llucmajor .(always morning till approx. 2.00 p.m.).
For a brake you will always find a coffee bar to have a drink or a small snack in the shadow of old houses or a tree around.
And one safe bet: don´t leave valueables in your car and always take attention on your wallet. Opportunity makes a thief!
