Pollensa holiday guide
The Mallorcan town of Pollensa is bursting with historic charm, well loved for its quaint stone houses, cafe terraces and boutique-lined streets. Its undeniably enchanting atmosphere has lured a number of artists, writers and innovative thinkers throughout the years, from Agatha Christie to Winston Churchill. Also known as Pollença, this charming destination can be best admired on a late afternoon in golden fading light, with the soft background chatter and summer songs of cicadas resounding in your ears. Lovely Puerto Pollensa is located just east of Pollensa, a small but lively resort town characterised by its buzzing restaurants, crystalline shores and pine-fringed beaches.
