About Pollença

Pollença grew a few kilometres inland from its port in northern Mallorca, around a square of cafes and a Roman bridge at the edge of town. The Calvari staircase climbs 365 steps to a chapel with views over the rooftops, and the road north leads to the Formentor peninsula and its lighthouse. Alcúdia's walls and the beaches of the bay are a short drive east. May, June and September are the most pleasant months, while July and August are hot and busy.
