Ses Salines is located in the far south of Mallorca and owes its name to the historic salt flats nearby. This quiet village is surrounded by rural countryside and is just a short drive from the coast near Col\u00f2nia de Sant Jordi and the famous beaches of Es Trenc and Es Dol\u00e7. Every Thursday morning, a small weekly market takes place in the village square. Here\u2019s what the market has to offer and how to get there.<\/p>\n
The weekly market in Ses Salines is small and primarily serves the local residents, with about a dozen stalls. It offers seasonal fruits and vegetables from the surrounding area, cheese, cured meats such as sobrassada, olives and olive oil, as well as other regional specialties. Depending on the day, there are also a few stalls selling clothing and everyday goods. It\u2019s a down-to-earth, laid-back market that gives you a genuine glimpse into rural life in the south of the island.<\/p>\n
The weekly market in Ses Salines takes place every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Pla\u00e7a Major in the town center, right in front of City Hall. The square is centrally located and easily reached on foot. Since the market is small, a brief morning visit is enough to take your time looking around.<\/p>\n
You can reach Ses Salines from Palma in about 45 minutes by taking the Ma-19 south. The town is conveniently located on the road between Santany\u00ed and Campos and is just a few minutes\u2019 drive from Col\u00f2nia de Sant Jordi. Since the market is compact and the town is quiet, you\u2019ll usually have no trouble finding a parking spot in the streets around Pla\u00e7a Major. Parking a little way from the square makes it easier to find a spot.<\/p>\n
Combine your visit to the market with a day at the beach: The expansive natural beach of Es Trenc, with its turquoise waters, is just a short drive away and is one of the most beautiful beaches on Mallorca. A detour to the salt flats that give the town its name and the port town of Col\u00f2nia de Sant Jordi is also well worth it. This turns a visit to the small market into a thoroughly relaxing trip to the southern part of the island.<\/p>\n
