INCA-redible! Come to Inca for a Spanish shopping spree.
Located halfway between Palma and Alcudia is Inca, Majorca’s third largest town but with the biggest character of them all. The town is in the middle of the island and is surrounded by beautiful rolling Spanish hills, perfect if you want to get away from it all and experience a real taste of Spain.
Known by the locals as ‘the city of leather,’ Inca is home to traditional textiles factories, an annual flower show and one of the largest markets on the island - held on Thursdays. Quirky, bespoke and handmade gifts adorn weekly stalls and there is a great selection of goods including jewellery, fresh fruit, clothes and gifts.
The market atmosphere and range of products will suit every taste, from foodies to clothes lovers and this makes Inca an ideal place for both families and couples. However if you get tired of haggling then culture vultures will enjoy the monastery cloisters of Saint Francesc and strolling through Inca’s narrow cobbled streets. If you prefer your relaxation time to be a bit more liquid then head to the old converted wine cellars for some Majorcan tapas and delicious Spanish wine.
Holidays in Inca – a great base to explore magical Majorca.
Inca is connected to Majorca’s capital, Palma city, by a gauge railway making it a great holiday destination. Inca’s produce is sold throughout the island - try ‘Ca'n Delante’ for its nationally famous pastries - and so it has excellent transport links to other major towns that regularly buy Inca goods.

If you fancy exploring further afield then Majorca’s capital, Palma, is a great place to start. The La Seu Cathedral and the Arab Baths will appeal to history buffs but there are also nightclubs, restaurants and many shops. Around Palma are many stunning beaches so you can get your tan on too. Try Portals Nous beach for unspoilt golden sand and warm, crystal clear water.
There are plenty of other activities around Inca, from scenic train rides in Soller, medieval hilltop monasteries and many water-sporting programmes. Although Inca is inland, it has long been popular with visitors and there are several information points so you can make the most of your Majorcan break.
