Properties in Pollença – the largest town in Northern Mallorca

The town of Pollença, also known as "Pollensa," is located in the far north of Mallorca, west of Alcudia, and about an hour's drive from Palma. Pollença is a historical town surrounded by untouched nature with narrow streets, yet it boasts a solid and established infrastructure with good connections to the highway network. This successful blend of nature, ancient tradition, and functional infrastructure makes Pollença an ideal place to live for many people, making it an attractive real estate location as well. Properties with "se vende" or "for sale" signs in the windows are rare, highlighting the attractiveness of the real estate and the high satisfaction of the owners.

Plaça Mayor – The heart of daily life in Pollensa

In the center of Pollensa’s narrow streets and pathways lies the impressive Plaça Mayor. Numerous cafes, restaurants, and bars surround the square, with the 18th-century parish church as a central landmark. Enjoy a 'café con leche' while watching passersby. The Plaça Mayor is the hub of life in Pollensa. Every Sunday, one of the largest markets in Mallorca takes place here, attracting both locals and tourists of various nationalities.

Among the most notable attractions are the Dominican Monastery in the historic town center and the Calvari Hill. Climbing its 365 steps is well worth it: at the top, visitors are rewarded with a magnificent view over Pollensa. Nearby, the picturesque Cap Formentor – the northernmost point of Mallorca – offers a spectacular natural experience. In the nearby fishing village of Port de Pollensa, you can observe the colorful harbor activity.
