About
Quick facts: The ancient walls still encircle the entire town, standing nearly 4 kilometers long with six gates to enter and exit. Narrow cobblestone streets wind through the center, lined with charming cafes and craft shops buzzing with local life.
Highlights: Step through the Porta de Mallorca and find yourself transported back centuries; local artisans often display traditional Mallorcan pottery right on the streets. Experience the festive atmosphere during the annual medieval market when the entire town dresses in period costumes and fills with the scent of spiced almonds.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes to navigate cobblestone streets with ease.
- Capture sunset photos from the old town walls for stunning views over the town and bay.
- Skip busy weekends to enjoy quieter streets and better service in cafes.
- Try local pastries from small bakeries tucked into side streets for an authentic taste.
