Art\u00e0, in northeastern Mallorca, is a charming little town with narrow streets and the famous Sant Salvador pilgrimage church towering above the rooftops. The weekly market on Tuesdays is one of the most popular on the island and attracts locals and visitors alike. It combines the residents\u2019 daily shopping with the charm of one of the region\u2019s most beautiful historic town centers.<\/p>\n
Regional products take center stage at the market: farmers from Art\u00e0 and neighboring communities sell fresh fruits and vegetables, along with sausages, cheese, pickled specialties, bread, and honey. Surrounding the main area are stalls offering handicrafts, textiles, shoes, leather goods, and flowers. Especially in the summer, the artisan section around the Na Batlessa Cultural Center expands noticeably, with stalls offering handmade goods lining the surrounding gardens. In this way, the market combines down-to-earth shopping with little discoveries.<\/p>\n
The market takes place every Tuesday from about 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. around Pla\u00e7a del Conqueridor\u2014also known as Sa Pla\u00e7a\u2014and in the adjacent streets. Some of the stalls are located in a covered area, so shopping remains pleasant even in the sun or light rain.<\/p>\n
Art\u00e0 is a good 60 kilometers from Palma and is easily accessible via the MA-15. On market mornings, the streets in the town center fill up quickly. The most stress-free option is to park just outside the center and walk the last few minutes into town. From vacation spots on the east coast, such as Cala Ratjada or Canyamel, Art\u00e0 is a worthwhile day trip that can easily be combined with a visit to the nearby stalactite caves or the coast.<\/p>\n
Take some time to explore the bars and restaurants around Pla\u00e7a del Conqueridor and Carrer Ciutat. After strolling through the market, it\u2019s worth making the climb to the Sant Salvador pilgrimage church, where you can enjoy a sweeping view of the surrounding area.<\/p>\n
