Felanitx Market - South Majorca

Felanitx is a fairly large town situated a few miles inland from Majorca’s east coast. It takes about 20 minutes or so to get there from resorts such as Cala d’Or and Porto Colom by car. In addition, there are both arranged trips and local bus services that will get you there. Felanitx market makes a great day out.

Felanitx - A little history

As well as the twice weekly market, Felanitx is also a town of historic interest. The imposing church of San Miguel has it's main entrance at the head of a long flight of white stone steps which take some climbing on a hot day! The building was also the scene of tragedy, when on Palm Sunday 1844, one of the walls of the church collapsed on top of the traditional procession. Out of the 600 people that were buried, 414 were killed and there is a plaque on one of the walls within the church in their memory.

Trip to the Monastery at San Salvador - Majorca

Situated inland from Majorca's East coast, the monastery of San Salvador sits on the top of a mountain overlooking the surrounding countryside. It can be visited by taking the road that runs between Porto Colom and Felanitx.

Porto Colom - Majorca

Porto Colom is situated about twenty minutes drive from the resort of Cala d'Or and indeed it is a resort in it’s own right. There are two main parts to the town, Cala Marcel and the Old Town area.
