Pollenca is a municipality on the island of Mallorca, one of the most popular islands of the Balearics. Its timeless quality offers something for everyone, from excitement, entertainment, sporting exertion, to wonderful peace and calm.<\/p>\n

\"Pollenca's<\/p>\n

Puig de Pollen\u00e7a<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stunning Puig de Pollen\u00e7a can be reached by a stiff walk up stony tracks, where\u00a0you\u2019ll be rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view from its castle ruins. At the top there is a restaurant which, as well as the views, will give you the incentive to finish the steep walk. If you\u2019re feeling particularly energetic, you could attempt the 365 Calvari steps to the top early in the morning before the heat and crowds begin to appear. Get to the summit so early that you can watch an incredible sunrise, and then put a candle in the chapel, before descending for breakfast.<\/p>\n

Plaza Mayor (Pla\u00e7a Major)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pollenca\u2019s main square is lined with restaurants, which specialise in substantial tasty meals. From the square, take a stroll around this lovely town, which is well kept and buzzing with friendly locals. There are plenty of interesting shops to tempt you through their doors!<\/p>\n

Esgl\u00e9sia de Nostra Se\u00f1ora dels \u00c0ngels de Pollen\u00e7a<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of Pollenca\u2019s main attractions is the Church of Our Lady. The paintings decorating the vault are exceptionally preserved, full of light and colour and surprisingly cheerful.<\/p>\n

Other sights to visit include the Puente Romano (Roman Bridge) and the Museo Dion\u00eds Benn\u00e0ssar near the Plaza de San Jordi, a small but very interesting studio of Dionis Bennassar, a post-impressionist artist of Mallorca.<\/p>\n

At Mon d’Aventura you can experience kayaking, swimming with colourful fish in crystal clear water, rock scrambling and great waterfalls. There are also the blue caves, where with the aid of a snorkel you will be astounded by the incredible azure colour all around you.<\/p>\n

If you are considering a self-catering holiday in Pollenca, here are a couple of highly recommended villas on our Mallorca portfolio:<\/p>\n

Ca Na Reieta<\/a> sleeps two and is a deceptively spacious beamed cottage, with lovely garden and grounds, comprising of a stunning swimming pool. The cottage is only 1.2 km from Pollen\u00e7a and just a five-minute drive from the seafront promenade.<\/p>\n

Ca’n Bennassar<\/a> is a wonderful stone-clad cottage within easy distance of Pollen\u00e7a. Surrounded by olive and citrus groves and looking out across the Colonya Valley to the peaks of the Sierra Tramuntana, Ca\u2019n Bennassar provides the perfect hub to enjoy Mallorca\u2019s stunning countryside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
