What's on in Pollença

Pollença sits inland in Mallorca's north, an old stone town built around a square, with the 365 Calvari steps climbing to a hilltop chapel and the working port a few miles down at Port de Pollença. It's the quieter, more cultured corner of the island — markets, art and music rather than mega-resorts — with the Tramuntana mountains as a backdrop.

Its calendar runs deep: the Festival de Pollença brings international classical music to a cloister courtyard each summer, La Patrona stages a fierce Moors and Christians mock battle in the streets, and the port marks Sant Pere with a maritime fiesta. Here's what's on while you're here.
