Binissalem is the heart of Mallorcan winemaking, and its Friday market reflects this down-to-earth, pleasure-loving culture. Every week, the town center transforms into a lively market around the imposing church, where locals and visitors stock up on fresh produce from the fertile Raiguer region.<\/p>\n
The focus is on fresh fruits and vegetables sold directly by many small local producers\u2014including seasonal specialties, herbs, and organic products. Also available are Mallorcan cheeses, sobrassada, and other cured meats, olives, olive oil, bread, and sweet pastries. In addition to food, you\u2019ll find textiles and clothing, shoes, simple household goods, plants and flowers, as well as handicrafts such as handmade ceramics. As the heart of the DO Binissalem wine region, the town is also a great starting point for discovering local wines.<\/p>\n
The weekly market in Binissalem takes place every Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The heart of the market is the Pla\u00e7a de l\u2019Esgl\u00e9sia, the church square in the center, from which the stalls spill out into the adjacent alleys.<\/p>\n
Binissalem is located about 29 kilometers northeast of Palma and is easily accessible via the Ma-13 highway in about 25 minutes by car. A particularly convenient feature: The town lies on the Palma\u2013Inca rail line, and the train station is just a few minutes\u2019 walk from the market\u2014so you can skip the hassle of finding a parking spot. If you\u2019re coming by car, it\u2019s best to use the parking lots on the outskirts of town, as the narrow alleys in the center fill up quickly on market days.<\/p>\n
Combine your market visit with a little wine tasting: Binissalem is surrounded by wineries, many of which offer tours and tastings. After shopping, stroll through the historic old town with its stately stone houses and stop for a drink at one of the bars on the square. If you visit in the fall, you\u2019ll experience a particularly festive atmosphere surrounding the Festa des Vermar wine festival.<\/p>\n
The market takes place every Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Pla\u00e7a de l\u2019Esgl\u00e9sia in the town center.<\/p>\n
