During your holiday it's always worth a visit to one of the markets which are to be found in many of the island's villages.

The most fascinating of these takes place every Wednesday in the small town of Sineu, close to Inca. Apart from the usual stands selling fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products, there is a large choice of Mallorcan hand made arts, pottery, leather goods etc as well as the farming community offering all kinds of live animals.
Here you can buy almost anything, cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, hens, goats, ducks, or even a kitten to take home. It's also particularly interesting to observe the locals bartering. Remember, never accept the price at a market, always deal.

The market in Sineu opens at 8:00 but get there early as it soon becomes very busy. After you have finished your shopping and sightseeing trip, take a lunch in one of the excellent cellar restaurants or taverns around the market square (the best are close to the church).

To arrive to Sineu you can either rent a car or take the trains which leaves from Plaza de España in Palma. Driving will take about 25/30 minutes but it will really worth the time.

It's the neighbourhood just across the "river" from the town centre and has a great choice of restaurants, a busy market and friendly vecinos. Go in the mornings when the market is open to have a peek and have a coffee in the very friendly Cafe Isleño, most nearby restaurants are very good.

Barrio Sta Catalina, walk across the river and park from the museo Es Baluard or ask any Palmesano who will point you in the general direction.
