A Little Background on Pollensa
This is a popular destination for sailors, as Pollensa has a large port for small vessels, and the area has plenty to see. Tourists can enjoy the waters even without a boat, as the beaches are clean, and the sea is blue.
The municipality of Pollensa is on the north side of the island of Majorca, around 30 miles from the capital of Palma. Pollensa is a coastal town with a small population, sheltered by a mountain on one side and gifted with a view of the Mediterranean Sea on the other.
Pollensa’s history dates back over 2-millennia when the Romans stationed a part of their forces there. A roman bridge, Pont Roma, still stands as a reminder. Signs of later occupations are obvious with such landmarks as the monastery from 1371 AD. More recently, the town has restored the Puig De Maria monastery, which rests on a 1000-foot hillock overlooking the town.
In August, Pollensa put on its’ annual outdoor festivals, where world-renowned orchestras play live music. In February, there are various sporting events held, which race around the island. And for the foodie, there are various markets in Palma for tourists to visit and experience true Spanish food.
