A market at the heart of a vibrant district
The Mercat de Santa Catalina is located in the district of the same name, west of Palma’s old town. The neighbourhood is known for its lively mix of tradition and modernity, with many bars, small boutiques and a creative atmosphere. The market itself has existed for more than 100 years and remains a key part of daily life for locals. In its charming hall with a historic flair, you’ll meet residents, chefs, food lovers and an increasing number of visitors looking to experience authentic Mallorca.
Fresh produce and culinary craftsmanship
The market offers a wide selection of fresh produce: seasonal fruit and vegetables, freshly caught fish, meat, cheese, olives, bread and many regional delicacies. Particularly popular are the stalls where you can not only shop but also eat right there – with freshly prepared tapas, oysters and cava, or sushi with a Mediterranean twist. The quality of the products is excellent, attracting many of Palma’s restaurateurs on a regular basis.
An authentic meeting place with charm
What makes the Mercat de Santa Catalina so special is its relaxed yet lively atmosphere. Here, young and old, locals and tourists, shoppers and café guests mingle naturally. The market is open Monday to Saturday in the morning and is ideal for a short stop during a stroll through the city or as a culinary highlight of your visit to Palma. Anyone wishing to experience Mallorca’s authentic and enjoyable lifestyle will find it right here.
Parking at Mercat de Santa Catalina
You can try to find a parking space in the streets around the market, as there are no car parks directly in Santa Catalina. The nearest options are Carrer Contramoll Mollet 1 (about a 7–8-minute walk) and Passeig de Mallorca, which is about the same distance from the market.
