Markets in Palma de Mallorca are a great way to experience the island of Mallorca, away from the usual sun and beach route. Visitors can enjoy traditional markets by strolling peacefully between stands, finding something special, and bargaining for the best price, making their vacation more memorable.
The markets provide a unique opportunity to experience the bustling life of Mallorcan towns, listen to the locals greet each other, and observe the character of the people who live on the island. Palma de Mallorca is the capital and most populous city on the island, and it has numerous markets that take place on different days of the week.
The Olivar market offers fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, wine, olives, and bakery products every day. The Gabriel Alomar i Villalonga avenue has an antiques and crafts market once a week that also features colonial rarities, paintings, books, and kitchen utensils.
The Passeig de la Rambla has a flower market every day and the Plaça Major has a craft market from 10:00am to 2:00pm during the summer months. Negotiating prices is expected at Palma de Mallorca's weekly markets, and no vendor expects to be paid the listed price without any negotiation. Additionally, there are farmer's markets throughout the island that offer fresh produce such as olives, citrus fruits, peppers, avocados, eggplants, and almonds. These markets take place on different days of the week in various towns. The 700 year old farmers market in Sineu is the oldest weekly market in Mallorca. Once a week, on Wednesdays, the town transforms into a bustling market where visitors can find fresh produce, local crafts, and traditional Mallorcan products.
