A market full of history and atmosphere
The Mercat de l’Olivar is located in the heart of Palma, just a few minutes’ walk from Plaça d’Espanya. Since its opening in 1951, it has been one of the city’s most important and traditional food markets. Inside the spacious market hall with its high ceilings and natural light, visitors find a lively mix of colours, scents and sounds – an authentic place to experience everyday Mallorcan life.
Fresh variety and culinary delights
The Mercat de l’Olivar offers everything a foodie could wish for: fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat, cheese, bread, spices and typical Mallorcan specialities such as sobrasada and ensaimadas. The large fish hall is particularly impressive, where fresh Mediterranean catch is sold daily. Those who don’t just want to shop but also taste can enjoy a wide selection of small tapas bars, sushi counters and cosy eateries serving freshly prepared dishes right on the spot.
A place for food lovers and explorers
The Mercat de l’Olivar is more than just a market – it’s a meeting point for locals and tourists, gourmets and amateur cooks alike. In addition to food stalls, there are also vendors selling flowers, delicacies, wines and Mallorcan products that make perfect souvenirs. The market is open Monday to Saturday and is at its liveliest in the morning. Especially on rainy days, this covered market hall offers a wonderful way to discover Palma’s culinary and cultural side.
