Beach Holidays in Puerto Pollensa Majorca

Posted on January 09, 2011

Enjoy some Roman History With Your Majorcan Holiday

When you go to Majorca for your summer holiday it’s tempting to spend the whole fortnight on the beach near your hotel basking in the sun but if you do get tired of staring at the sun kissed bodies playing Frisbee or just lazing about on the sand then you may want to investigate some of the island’s history.

pollensa beaches

In Puerto Pollensa holidays are mainly spent by the sea, day s on the beaches and evenings eating at the best restaurants on the island, nights clubbing away but just a little inland is the old town of Pollensa itself, founded in the 13 th century but built mainly in the 17 th and 18 th centuries a little inland to avoid pirates and buccaneers. The streets and passages are nice and narrow which means that there is always plenty of shade as you explore until you get to the squares, the principal being the Plasa Major where you’ll find many cafes. The plasa is dominated by the 13 th century church Our Lady Of The Angels which was built for the Knights Templar. Just north of the plasa is the stairway consisting 365 step which leads to the Calvary chapel. If you’re in town on Good Friday you can witness the Easter ceremony in which an enactment of the crucifixion takes place, they re-enact the Stations of the Cross and there is a silent torch lit parade, the only sound to be heard is the sombre beating of a solitary drum.

If you’re going to stay in the region you can either go to one of the many hotels that are available by the port itself or, if you’re more inclined to villa holidays there are beautiful villas in Alcudia, the municipality in which Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa lie in the NE of the island.

Pollensa, or Pollentia as it was known then was originally a Roman settlement and to the north or the town you can still visit the Roman bridge which traverses the torrents that form part of the Sant Jordi river.

Getting to Pollensa is easy with all year round cheap flights to Palma from most UK regional airports.
