POLLENSA TRAVEL GUIDE
Mallorca, Balearic Islands, SpainIf you are looking for a holiday hotel, apartment or villa in Pollensa, the following information may help by giving you an overview on the resort.
Pollensa - the perfect Mallorcan town - is at the eastern end of the Serra de Tramuntana and tucked between two hills, each topped with a sacred site. Large enough to avoid being “twee” but small enough to wander round in a morning, it has none of the feel of other towns which have succumbed to mass tourism. Foreigners have long been attracted here, but Pollensa has learned to accept and adapt to tourism without losing its soul. Café life is still huge in Pollensa and if you want to join in, come on a Sunday morning when the Placa Major is filled with market stalls and the locals congregate after church to relax in the Café Espanyol.
The Pont Roma [Roman Bridge] on the edge of town gives a clue to Pollensa’s long history. The name Pollensa dates from the 14th century, when settlers from Alcudia named the town after their former Roman capital. Among many historic buildings is a former Jesuit convent, now the town hall. From here you clim 365 steps to the Calvari church, with its ancient wooden cross and view of Puig de Maria. The steps are the scene of a moving procession each Good Friday, when a figure of Chris is removed from a cross and carried down the steps by torchlight.
