Things You Should Know About the Weekly Market
The city is famous for two artisanal crafts in particular. On one hand, olive wood products enjoy great popularity. On the other hand, there’s the renowned Majorica pearl factory, known beyond Mallorca for its special process of making artificial pearls.
In the weekly market, you can get these pearls firsthand. If you want to learn more about the creation of your market acquisitions, you can visit the glass pearl factory. There, they’ll explain and show you the detailed steps of the complex production process. The “Oliv-Art” exhibition and sales building for olive wood products is also worth a visit.
In comparison to other markets, food plays a secondary role. However, if you’re looking for fresh fruits and vegetables, you’ll find a wide variety of fresh produce every morning at the Plaça Constitució in Manacor.
What else to discover in Manacor
As the second-largest city in Mallorca, Manacor has much to offer even on non-holiday days. Stately homes, watchtowers, and old windmills, some better preserved than others, offer a glimpse into Manacor’s past, which dates back to the 15th century.
Additionally, every year in mid-September, a craft and gastronomy market is held on Avenida des Tren, where, in addition to local delicacies, coveted olive wood products and handmade pearls are sold. The most convenient and economical way to get to Manacor is by train. Every hour, a train departs from Palma de Mallorca to Manacor, passing through Inca.
