Pollensa, originally a small fishing village, is renowned for its authenticity and charm, having preserved much of its original character thanks to strict building regulations that limit high-rise developments. The town itself is a maze of narrow cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and lively squares, including the central Plaça Major, where the famous weekly market takes place. This market is a major attraction, offering an array of local produce, crafts, and textiles, which gives visitors a chance to experience the true flavor of Mallorcan life.
