At the end of the Anglada Camarasa Promenade stands a bust of the painter Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa—a tangible connection to art in a public space. Port de Pollença combines such cultural traces with promenades and maritime traditions. There is also a weekly market and events held annually.
Walks, Beach and Art
The stretch of the Vora Mar Promenade offers a peaceful, relaxing walk. Along the promenade by Llenaire Beach, also known as Els Tamarells, old pine trees provide shade in some sections. For choosing a walk, Vora Mar is the quieter option, while the old pines are a defining feature of Llenaire/Els Tamarells.
Llenaire Beach, also known as Els Tamarells, is considered peaceful and inspired Agatha Christie and the Catalan painter Anglada-Camarasa, who lived in the port. The connection to the painter is also evident in the bust at the end of the Anglada Camarasa Promenade. This brings together a historical connection to the artist and a work of art in a public space.
Maritime Traditions and the Market
The Real Club Nàutic Port de Pollença organizes regattas every year; their schedules may vary. Another recurring annual tradition is the maritime procession from the Mare de Déu del Carme parish church. The figures of Sant Pere and Mare de Déu del Carme are carried out to sea, and most of the boats in the port take part. The procession date and arrangements may also vary. If you plan to attend one of these events, check the latest dates in advance.
The weekly market takes place every Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Miquel-Capllonch Square. Its 197 stalls offer food, especially fruit and vegetables, as well as crafts, clothing, shoes, gifts, plants and other typical island products. The wide selection makes the market a destination in its own right, alongside art and coastal promenades; check the market hours before you travel.
Landscape and Outdoor Activities
Nearby L’Albufereta has natural and semi-natural habitats, including small lakes, canals and streams that flow intermittently. This adds a landscape-focused option to the promenades and port: L’Albufereta is all about habitats and waterways.
Bike rental services are available in Port de Pollença, where you can get the equipment you need for cycling. If cycling is part of your plans, check current providers independently.
If you would like to include the Cala Bóquer hiking trail in your plans, its starting point is easy to pinpoint: it begins on Avinguda de Bocchoris in Port de Pollença. This provides a clear location reference for planning your hike on the trail.
Dates to Help Plan Your Trip
The different activities offer distinct time markers: the market is held weekly on Wednesdays, while regattas and the procession recur annually, and their dates or arrangements may vary. Check the market hours and event dates in advance if you plan to attend any of them. This lets you match your chosen activity to the actual calendar.
