Bring cash, as many stalls prefer cash payments.
Take time to sample local products and talk to stallholders, as friendliness and community spirit are seen as key parts of the experience.
Combine the market with a walk through the historic streets and, if you have a car, a scenic drive through central Mallorca to nearby villages or viewpoints.
