Every Thursday morning, the town of Inca transforms into one of Mallorca’s largest and most vibrant weekly markets. Located in the pedestrian center and on Gran VÃa Colón, this bustling marketplace draws locals and tourists alike with its incredible variety and authentic atmosphere.
What Makes Inca Market Special
The market is most famous for its leather and shoe products, reflecting Inca’s traditional craftsmanship heritage. Hundreds of stalls offer everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to handcrafted items, textiles, and flowers. Visitors can find bags, clothes, flowers, trinkets, and jewelry spread across multiple streets in the town center.
The authentic Spanish market experience comes alive as vendors call out their wares and locals bargain for the best deals. The market gets particularly busy during peak tourist season from July to August, but this energy adds to its charm.
Practical Information for Visitors
Arriving early is highly recommended to secure the best deals and avoid crowds. The market closes at 1:30 PM, so getting there early ensures you have plenty of time to explore all the different sections.
Parking is available near the market, with a convenient parking garage located at Carrer dels Malferits, 52, just a five-minute walk to downtown. The town also features two-story underground car parks to facilitate parking for visitors.
For those traveling by public transport, Inca is accessible by direct buses from north coast resorts such as Puerto Pollensa and Alcudia, and via bus-and-train journeys from south coast towns.
