MARKET IN MALLORCA
What: It's a covered market with 50 stalls offering local fresh products, with a special focus on fish and seafood due to its proximity to the fish market ( La Lonja)
Where: El Mercat de Santa Catalina is located in an old fishing district of Palma.
Fun to know: The market is the oldest among all the markets in Palma, predating the Olivar and Pere Garau. The building we know today was constructed around 1920 and has undergone renovations in subsequent years.
We recommend: Don't miss the market bars. Bar des Mercat stands out with its family-friendly atmosphere, offering freshly grilled products from Santa Catalina Market. Meanwhile, Bar Joan Frau is a must-visit, renowned for serving delightful Mallorcan cuisine for five decades, becoming a landmark in Santa Catalina for both locals and tourists alike.
Address: Plaça de la Navegació, s/n, Ponent, 07013 Palma, Illes Balears
