Pollença has a market every Sunday of the year, and that is the best day to go from Palma: the Plaça Major full of stalls, the Calvari steps five minutes away and the convent museum open in the morning. You eat at the Port, in a Mallorcan house dating from 1962, and work lunch off on the short Bóquer trail to an undeveloped cove.

## The day, hour by hour

9:00 · Set off. From Palma, about 55 km on the Ma-13 motorway towards Alcúdia and the exit for Sa Pobla and Pollença. Leave the car outside the centre: on Sundays, with the market, the narrow streets fill up early.

9:45 · Sunday market. Until 13:30, in the Plaça Major, the Plaça de ca les Monnares and the surrounding streets. Fruit, vegetables, cold cuts, cheeses, olives and some crafts.

11:00 · The Calvari. From the square, five minutes on foot to the foot of the steps: 365 steps between cypresses and fourteen crosses up to the oratory, with the town and the bay at your feet.

12:00 · Museu de Pollença. In the former convent of Sant Domingo, with a Baroque cloister, Gothic altarpieces and contemporary art. Free; on Sundays it closes at 13:30.

13:45 · Lunch at Celler La Parra. Ten minutes by car to the Port. Roast suckling pig, Mallorcan lamb, frit or arròs brut, in a place full of barrels and old photographs. Continuous service until the evening.

16:30 · Bóquer Valley. The trail starts on Avinguda de Bocchoris, a quarter of an hour's walk from the restaurant. An hour and a half there and back, easy, through a valley between two ranges, past the remains of the Talaiotic settlement of Bocchoris, to the cove.

18:30 · Head home.

## Where and what to eat

Celler La Parra is open Tuesday to Sunday from 13:00 to 22:30; book on its website. If you want a table over the water, Stay, on the Moll Nou, serves every day from 12:00 to 20:00.

## With children

The market and the Calvari steps, which can be counted, work well. Bóquer is easy, but bring water and a cap. The museum is short and free.
