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. ## Cómo llegar y contacto - Web: https://www.freetour.com/pollenca/free-tour-por-pollenca-y-su-dramatica-historia - Coordenadas: 39.87573, 3.01636 ## Cerca de aquí - [Museu de Pollença in the Sant Domingo convent](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/pollenca-and-formentor/things-to-do/pollenca-museum), a 33 m - [Sunday market in Pollença's Plaça Major](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/pollenca-and-formentor/things-to-do/sunday-market-pollenca), a 132 m - [Photo Session in Pollença Old Town, from Plaça Major](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/pollenca-and-formentor/things-to-do/pollenca-old-town-photoshoot), a 142 m - [Hotel Juma](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/pollenca-and-formentor/where-to-stay/hotel-juma), a 157 m - [Pollença's Calvari and its 365 steps](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/pollenca-and-formentor/things-to-do/calvari-steps), a 618 m - [Climb to the Puig de Maria sanctuary](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/pollenca-and-formentor/things-to-do/puig-de-maria-sanctuary-walk), a 914 m - [Son Brull Hotel & Spa](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/pollenca-and-formentor/where-to-stay/son-brull), a 1.5 km - [Celler La Parra](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/balearic-islands/pollenca-and-formentor/where-to-eat/celler-la-parra), a 6.3 km ## Consejos ### Water for the Calvari There are no fountains along the steps, and in summer the climb is in the sun. ### Tip in cash It is the only thing you pay, and the guide collects it at the end. ### Before the museum, not after The Museu closes at midday: do the morning free tour and go in afterwards with the cloister already explained. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Is the Pollença free tour free?
