Located between Palma and Pollensa is Inca, the third-largest town in Mallorca. The municipality has a population of around 35,000 inhabitants and is often referred to as the capital of the north. The town is located about 30 kilometers from Palma and is known for its Mallorcan atmosphere, historical significance, and its shoe and leather industries. Inca is located in a region of Mallorca characterized by olive groves and vineyards. The town offers easy access to hiking trails in the surrounding area, including the nearby Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Inca is a vibrant and culturally rich town in the heart of Mallorca, combining traditional Mallorcan life with a modern appeal. Also well-known here is the weekly Mercat de Inca (Inca Market), which is one of the largest and most famous markets in Mallorca and takes place every Thursday. Offering both historical sights and convenient amenities, the town is an excellent base for exploring the island.

The town is located in the center of Mallorca and is easily accessible by car, bus, and even train. Inca lies between Palma (30 km) and Alcudia (25 km). There are some free and paid parking spaces in the town itself. A bus or train ride costs around €5.
We recommend the spring and fall months (March-June & September-October) for this trip. The temperatures are pleasant, and the city isn’t as crowded as it is during peak summer season.
Inca is a relatively affordable place compared to some other regions of Mallorca, especially the highly touristic areas such as Palma, Puerto Andratx, Palmanova or the coastal towns.
It’s a delightful place for a day trip. There’s plenty to see and explore. The Thursday street market is particularly popular and beautiful. Unfortunately, during peak season, it gets very crowded, and it’s almost impossible to move around the market.
This is all about travel. Leave a little love. ♥︎
