Places to Visit in Pollença: Three Spots That Capture the Soul of the Town

There are places you enjoy, and others you truly feel. Pollença belongs to the second group. It’s not just a destination — it’s an emotional journey through centuries of history, living traditions, and landscapes that seem designed to stay in your memory.First-time visitors often say time moves slower here. Those who return do so because Pollença leaves something within them.

Today, let me guide you through three spots that reveal the authentic essence of this Mallorcan gem.

1. Puig de Maria: A Hike That Changes Your Day

Imagine starting your morning with birdsong and the scent of pine trees. The climb to Puig de Maria is more than a walk; it’s an invitation to disconnect from the urgent and reconnect with yourself.

As you ascend, the noise of town fades. When you reach the 14th-century monastery at the top, something shifts — the air feels calmer, almost sacred.

From above, the views of Pollença, the bay, Formentor, and the Tramuntana mountains unfold like a living postcard.

Descending feels lighter, as if the hill had given you a moment of clarity.

2. The Calvari Steps: 365 Steps into Tradition

The Calvari isn’t just climbed — it’s experienced.Its 365 steps lined with cypress trees create a path through Pollença’s past. As you rise, old stone houses and expanding views accompany you until you reach the little 18th-century chapel at the top.

But its most emotional moment arrives during Easter, when the solemn Davallament procession descends the staircase, filling the entire town with tradition and respect.

Climbing the Calvari is understanding Pollença with your heart, not just your eyes.

3. Pont Roma: A Bridge That Has Seen It All

Sometimes history hides in the simplest places — like a stone bridge. Pont Roma, of Roman origin, still stands as a silent witness to the centuries that shaped Pollença.

Once used by traders and travelers entering the town, today it’s a peaceful walking spot where you can feel the quiet soul of Pollença.

The sound of the water and the texture of the ancient stone create a timeless atmosphere.

A Town That Stays With You

Visiting Pollença means discovering that places can have a soul.

A hill that gives you peace, a staircase that carries tradition, and a bridge that connects centuries.

And once you leave, you’ll probably feel what every visitor feels:

you haven’t seen it all — and somehow, you already want to return.
