Half-day guided tour to Es Colomer Viewpoint and Alcudia Market in Majorca
Join this half-day guided tour to check out Es Colomer Viewpoint and Alcudia Market. You'll go for a drive along winding country roads to reach Es Colomer Viewpoint, where you'll see landscapes that have inspired a bunch of local artists – you'll understand why they were big fans when you see the huge cliffs and sea views here for yourself. Then, you'll head into Alcudia's walled Old Town for a scenic stroll, before visiting its bustling market. Soak up the lively atmosphere as you wander among the stalls, and there's plenty of locally-grown fruit and veg, handmade crafts and leather goods on offer, too.

Farmers' Market and Formentor Tour from South and East of Majorca
This excursion captures the magic of Majorca by combining some of the north's best attractions. You'll visit a farmers' market and get to know the craggy coastline of Cape Formentor, a narrow, pine-studded peninsula populated by wild herb-munching wild goats. Lluc, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘One Spanish phrase worth remembering for your market trip is “Un poco para probar, por favor”, which means “A little to try, please”. Usually, vendors are happy to give you a small taste of cheeses, olives, breads and so on, before you buy.'Majorca's markets are famed for their variety and freshness of the produce on display. Spend a morning browsing one of the most popular weekly farmers' markets, waking up your senses with colourful displays of fruit, the aroma of freshly baked local pastries and local vendors calling out their best deals. These markets are usually set up on the church square in the villages. Lluc adds, ‘The stallholders selling just a few different types of seasonal fruit or vegetables are the ones who grow their own produce – and usually the best value.'We'll then journey by road to Es Colomer viewpoint for a brief photo stop en route to Formentor beach. The curved, pine-fringed sandy bay boasts clear water and makes a great place to enjoy some free time. Refreshments are available at a beach café, and you can secure your table for lunch by choosing the ‘lunch included' option. On the return journey, you'll travel by boat back to Port de Pollença.
