Pollensa is a pretty fabulous place to enjoy your treasured villa holiday.
It’s no coincidence it has been named the happy town. Pollensa has a laid back ambience that appeals to families, groups holidaying together in a family villa or indeed that special romantic break. Life has its own clock here in Pollensa town, why rush when you can move at a gentler pace, after all that’s also what holidays are all about.
Pollensa’s social scene is very international and the locals love mixing with people from all over the world. Spend some time loitering with a coffee on the market square and count the different languages you hear – amazing! There is a reason that Pollensa has produced many talented and famous artists, just walk around town and discover the galleries to get an impression of just how important this relatively small town is in the international art scene. Culture plays a very important part in Pollensa, every summer is hosts the famous festival of classical music and, again, musicians from all over the world are delighted to participate.
The town is graced with pretty Spanish streets, leading to smart squares full of cafes and restaurants where you can still enjoy a “menu del dia” for a very reasonable price. The local shops sell quality souvenirs and locally made ceramics chic enough to decorate the finest table.
Perhaps the most famous landmark of Pollença is the Calvary hill with the charming chapel at the top. There are 2 ways to get up this hill, either via the “Via Crucis” (way of the cross), a road displaying the 12 stations of the cross or the more energetic can take the 365 steps lined with ancient cypress trees up the hill. The chapel is the scene of Good Friday’s famous procession the “Davallment”, which attracts thousands of visitors each year. Once you have arrived at the top of the Calvari, you will be rewarded for your efforts with breath taking views over Pollensa’s surrounding countryside and the bay of Pollensa.
In days gone by when Arab pirates and invaders posed a terrifying threat to the coastal towns, the locals took refuge in Pollensa. Therefore, in August every year, the town re-enacts a battle that took place in 1550 when Arab pirates invaded Pollensa and the brave inhabitants, although caught in their sleep, managed to defeat them with their rudimentary tools and weapons – whatever was available! This battle between the Moors and the Christians, as it is called, is the highlight of Pollensa’s fiesta week in honour of its patron, the Virgin Mary, mother of Angels who the inhabitants appealed to for protection before the historic battle. Pollensa may be inland a little from the coast but it’s only a short hop to the coast and beaches in Puerto Pollensa.
