In the fertile eastern part of Mallorca, at the foot of the striking Sant Salvador mountain, lies the small town of Felanitx. Every Sunday morning, its center fills with market stalls, and the town shows its liveliest side—an authentic market geared less toward tourists than toward the local people. Surrounded by almond groves and vineyards, Felanitx is one of the most traditional rural towns in the island’s southeast.

Felanitx is known for its traditional crafts and agriculture. At the market, you’ll find fresh fruits and vegetables, along with the region’s famous capers, wine from the surrounding vineyards, cheese, olives, and honey. A special feature is the handmade ceramics and pottery for which Felanitx has been famous for centuries. The selection is rounded out by flowers, plants, textiles, leather goods, and household items.

Directions & Parking

Felanitx is located about 50 kilometers east of Palma and is easily accessible via the Ma-15 (about a 45-minute drive). There are parking options on the streets and in smaller squares in the town center; however, parking spots near the market fill up quickly on Sunday mornings.

Tip for Your Market Visit

Be sure to look out for local pottery—a hand-crafted jug or plate makes for an authentic souvenir. If you’d like, combine your market visit with a drive up to the Sant Salvador Monastery: from the hilltop, you’ll enjoy a sweeping view of eastern Mallorca. Be sure to try a wine from the region—Felanitx is traditionally known for its wines. A stroll through the surrounding cafés and bakeries is also well worth it, as the town is famous for its homemade baked goods.
