Who it's for
Couples, friends, families with children aged 17 and over and solo travellers who want natural photos in the stone streets

You meet in Pollença's Plaça Major with Yosvany, a photographer who has spent nine years taking holiday photos in Mallorca, and in half an hour or an hour you walk the stone streets of the old town: church doorways, flights of steps, flowerpots, the mountain behind. He tells you how to stand without it looking posed, and in less than two days you have the edited photos in a private gallery. He sells it only as a service on Airbnb, which is where you book: €55 per person for the short session, which on 14 November 2026 appeared discounted to €17.

Three sessions

  • Holiday session: 30 minutes, two or three nearby corners and 10 to 15 photos edited. €55 per person.
  • Exclusive session: one hour, four to six places and 20 to 25 photos. €70 per person.
  • Photos and reel: an hour and a half, four to six places, 25 to 30 photos and a vertical video for social media. €190 per group.

The first two are delivered in under 48 hours; the reel one, in under 72. All are private and in the old town. The listing allows participants from age 17.

Which corners work well

The square, with the church of Nostra Senyora dels Àngels, is the starting point. A step away are the foot of the Calvari, with its steps among cypresses, and the cloister of the Sant Domingo convent, home to the Museu de Pollença. The photographer's sample photos are of these streets: a couple facing the mountain with a full moon, two friends in front of a church doorway, a stone staircase. With the one-hour session or the reel one there is time to climb a few stretches of the Calvari.

Sundays are different

On Sunday morning the square fills with the market and it is hard to get a clean shot. On that day, it is better late in the afternoon, once the stalls have packed up.

Tips

  • Go late in the day The old town falls into shade and the light comes in sideways along the streets. In November the sun sets around half past five.
  • Shoes for steps If you are going to climb part of the Calvari, flat shoes are better than heels.
  • Park outside the centre The old town has narrow streets: leave the car in the car parks on the outskirts and walk up.
