Perched on a hill in the heart of the Es Pla region is the small village of Montu\u00efri, known for its old windmills and the traditional Cossiers dancers. Every Monday, an authentic village market here invites you to take a stroll\u2014quiet, unspoiled, and geared entirely toward the locals.<\/p>\n
The selection is down-to-earth and regionally inspired. At the stalls, you\u2019ll find fresh fruits and vegetables from the fertile countryside around Es Pla, along with Mallorcan cheese, cured meats like sobrassada, olives, and almonds. Much of it comes directly from local producers, which gives the market its authentic character. Depending on the season, you\u2019ll also find figs, apricots, or freshly squeezed grape juice from the local harvest. The selection is rounded out by flowers and plants, clothing and shoes, as well as handmade goods and small gifts. The market remains intimate and personal\u2014it\u2019s a place to meet up, chat, and stock up on fresh produce for the week. It is precisely this authentic atmosphere that makes a visit so appealing.<\/p>\n
The market takes place every Monday from about 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The center is Pla\u00e7a Major in Montu\u00efri, from where the stalls stretch through the surrounding alleys of the historic town center. The village\u2019s elevated location adds a special charm to a stroll through the market, offering sweeping views across the Es Pla plain.

Montu\u00efri is conveniently located on the MA-15 between Palma and Manacor, about a 30-minute drive from the island\u2019s capital. Bus routes between Palma and the eastern part of the island also stop here. It\u2019s best to park on the outskirts of town and walk the last few meters, as the narrow streets in the center are cramped and parking spots around the market are often taken.<\/p>\n
