Pollensa and its seaside port town Puerto Pollensa, are located in the northern part of Mallorca. It is an historically important part of the island, as its prominent geographical position has witnessed many battles of resistance and conquests.
Pollensa town, located some km inland, owes the overall appearance to the Arabs with winding narrow streets, flights of steps and houses built in warm yellow and pale red, a legacy from the medieval era. One of the town's most distinctive features is the 365-step stairway that leads up to a chapel on top of the hill. Pollensa is a truly charming and genuine town which is well worth a visit.
