Pollensa Holidays

A very attractive town square, lined with some very fine restaurants and bars, lies at the heart of Pollensa, where the 13th century Our Lady of Angels church dominates its surroundings, and giving visitors more than just a mere hint towards Pollensa’s medieval origins. Although most of the town’s houses were built in the 17th and 18th centuries they line narrow and compact medieval streets.

To the north of the square is the 365 carved stone stairway which leads to the top of Calvary Hill where a small chapel stands guard. At Easter a solemn mock crucifixion takes place at the top of the steps, before the body of Christ is paraded through the streets, the cloaks, masks and pointed hats of the celebrants an incongruous contrast to the silence, save the poignant tolling of a drum, which greets them.
