Pollença Free Tour, from the Sant Domingo Cloister to the Calvari

Pollença has a history of pirates, of painters who came from Paris and of a town that climbed the 365 steps of its Calvari in prayer. Pedro tells it in an hour and a half on foot, in Spanish, on a free tour that you book for free on Freetour.com: at the end everyone leaves whatever tip they see fit. It is the cheapest way to understand the town before going into its museum or sitting down on the Plaça Major.

Where it starts and where it goes

The meeting point is the gates of the Sant Domingo cloister, the former Dominican convent that houses the Museu de Pollença. In front there is a little square with low stone walls; the guide carries a tablet so you can recognise him. From there the route passes three places:

• The Sant Domingo cloister, the convent and what it says about the town's past.
• The steps of the Calvari: 365 steps climbed in about fifteen minutes, in two or three stretches, with stops to catch your breath and listen.
• The Joan March gardens, next to the convent.

Bring comfortable shoes: the climb to the Calvari is the physical part of the walk. At the top, in the oratory, you see the town and the bay.

Times and booking

The slots change by day: you choose them in the listing's calendar. On Saturday 14 November 2026 there were two, at 11:00 and at 18:00. There is no minimum group, booking and cancelling are free and nothing is charged in advance. If you can't go, cancel: the platform penalises no-shows. The tour is in Spanish only.

How it fits into the day

In the morning, start with the eleven o'clock free tour and continue to the museum, which is in the same convent and free; it closes at 14:00 on weekdays and at 13:30 at weekends. The afternoon slot pairs well with dinner at the Port. On Sundays, the Plaça Major has a market until half past one.
