The north of Mallorca is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and the many traditions that have been cherished by its inhabitants for centuries. The historic towns and villages with their winding alleys, old stone houses, and nearby coves and beaches provide the perfect backdrop for numerous festivals celebrated by Majorcans throughout the year.
Fans of the north often choose to settle in the beautiful and more widely known municipality of Pollensa. The summer "Fiesta de la Patrona," honouring the patron saint of the municipality, especially captivates visitors from all over because of the unique historical re-enactment. However, just a 15-minute drive away is the lively agricultural town of Sa Pobla, which also has its many traditions and cultural events throughout the year, and is becoming more and more popular with home buyers wanting to invest in Majorca.
The town is known for its year-round cultural calendar, great eateries, modern shopping facilities and a lovely town square, where families and friends can be found enjoying the sunshine, warm evenings, relaxing, eating and catching up.
Celebrations and delights · Sa Pobla
Engel & Volkers recommend that if you are here in August and interested in Jazz make sure you get tickets for the outstanding "Mallorca Jazz Sa Pobla" festival, providing a stage for both international and national artists.
Celebrate the "Fira Nocturna de la Patata" (potato night fair) with the locals, enjoying live music and tasting the many dishes based on the locally grown potato, held in June.
In January witness the unique festivities of Sant Antoni (not for small children) be a part of an age-old tradition and a grand spectacle. But that’s a whole other blog!
In addition to the numerous regional festivals, Sa Pobla always celebrates its holidays in great style. Especially at Easter, which is the island's most important religious festival, and is celebrated in a big way. Every year on the first Tuesday after Easter the residents walk to Crestatx, also just a 5-minute drive from town. The towns people gather near a small hermitage and have a mega picnic of typical Majorcan Easter dishes, such as "Arroz Brut," a rustic rice dish, and a delicious must-try for anyone visiting the Island.
