Located at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana, the tranquil village of Alaró hosts an authentic little weekly market every Saturday. Far from the crowds of tourists, the scene here is dominated mainly by locals—if you’re looking for the authentic charm of Mallorcan villages, the Plaça de la Vila is the place to be.

What can you find at the weekly market in Alaró?

The focus is on fresh, locally sourced produce: seasonal fruits and vegetables from nearby farms, along with olives, sheep’s milk cheese, sobrassada, and other cured meats, olive oil, honey, bread, and pastries. The selection is rounded out by clothing, household goods, plants, and a few stalls selling handicrafts. The market is small and manageable, but that’s precisely what gives it its down-to-earth charm.

When and where?

The weekly market in Alaró takes place every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You’ll find it on Plaça de la Vila, the main square, as well as in the surrounding alleys near the parish church in the historic town center.

Directions & Parking

Alaró is located about 30 kilometers northeast of Palma and is easily accessible by car via the country road. In the village, you can park along the roadside or in small squares on the outskirts; from there, it’s just a short walk to the market. On market day, the narrow alleys in the center are best explored on foot.

Tip for Your Market Visit

A classic outing combines a morning visit to the market with a hike to the Castell d’Alaró, a castle ruin high above the village. From up there, you can enjoy a sweeping view of the island’s interior and the Serra de Tramuntana. Stop by one of the cafés on the square beforehand to refuel for the climb.
