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).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12322 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12307 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12307 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8046

And if the weather isn’t so good? Just go into El Corte Inglese, that monument to the shopaholic. Just think of Debenhams and multiply it tenfold in quality and quantity. And there are two of these in the city! The larger boasts seven floors with two underground, one of which is a supermarket with wine racks occupying a quarter of the floor space with several thousand bottles.
And the deli section...How many different olive oils are there?]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8044
