The weekly market in Sa Pobla is a lively Sunday market in one of Mallorca’s main agricultural towns, famous for its potatoes and vegetables and for a very down‑to‑earth, local atmosphere in the northern inland region. It is a strong choice if you want to experience a real farmers’ market that still serves the local community first, but is easy to reach from the Bay of Alcúdia and Pollença.
​
Market day, opening hours and size
Sa Pobla’s weekly market takes place every Sunday morning in the town centre. Recent guides and municipal‑level information align on:
- ​Day: Sunday
- Core time: around 09:00–13:30 (with some sources giving 9:00–14:00 or “9:00–2:00 p.m.”).
​The market is described as a large market with numerous stalls, extending over several squares and a main pedestrian street, and is very well attended by both locals and visitors from surrounding towns.
​
Location: where the market is in Sa Pobla
The weekly market is held in the centre of Sa Pobla, focused on two main squares:
- ​Plaça Major, in front of the town hall.
- Plaça del Mercat, connected by the pedestrian Carrer Mercat.
Stalls fill both squares and the connecting street, creating a continuous market zone through the compact centre of town. The surrounding streets contain more shops, cafés and bars, so you can easily alternate between stalls and local businesses.
Sa Pobla lies about 15 km from the bays of Alcúdia and Pollença, on the flat agricultural plain, which explains both its strong farming tradition and its popularity as a Sunday outing from the nearby coastal resorts.
​
What to expect: products and atmosphere
Sa Pobla’s weekly market is strongly rooted in its agricultural identity. You can expect:
- Fresh fruit and vegetables from local farmers, including potatoes (Sa Pobla is famous for them), onions, artichokes and many other seasonal products.
- ​Food and organic products: cheeses, cured meats, sobrasada, honey, almonds, olives, olive oil and other regional delicacies, including organic or “zero‑kilometre” products from the area.
- ​Plants and flowers, which give parts of the market a garden‑like feel.
- ​Farm animals in a specific area, such as small livestock and poultry, underlining the traditional rural character of the market.
- ​Clothing and accessories, including everyday clothing, footwear and simple textiles.
- ​Gifts and artisan crafts, including ceramics, jewellery, textiles and decorative pieces produced by local artisans.
​The market is widely described as having a very local, traditional atmosphere, with many farmers selling directly and a high percentage of local shoppers, alongside tourists who come specifically for an authentic inland market experience.

How to get to Sa Pobla weekly market
Sa Pobla is located inland, but very accessible both by road and public transport:
- By car: From the Bay of Alcúdia or Pollença you drive inland about 15 km to Sa Pobla; from Palma or Inca you follow the main roads towards the north and exit at Sa Pobla. On Sundays, you typically park around the edges of the centre and then walk to Plaça Major or Plaça del Mercat.
- ​By train: Sa Pobla is the terminus of one branch of the island’s train line from Palma, making it one of the easiest inland markets to reach without a car. From the station, it is a short walk into the town centre where the market is held.
​Because of the market’s popularity, parking near the squares can be tight later in the morning; arriving earlier improves your chances and gives you more time to explore calmly.
