Pollença
An old town with a 365-step cypress-lined staircase up to a hilltop chapel, and a base for exploring the north of the island.
Pollença is one of the most charming old towns in northern Mallorca. Its most famous feature is the Calvari steps: 365 stone steps lined with cypress trees. At the top stands a small chapel with views over the old town and Pollença Bay. The main square, Plaça Major, is ringed by cafés, and a lively market takes place on Sunday mornings. South of the town stands a Roman bridge, and the Moors and Christians battle festival around August 2 is well known. The port of Pollença, about 6 km away by the sea, has a long sandy beach, with boats and buses to Cap Formentor. Many visitors use the town as a base for exploring the north.
