Inca Market

Every Thursday morning, the town of Inca, on the main road from Palma to Alcudia, hosts a big outdoor market selling everything from fruits and vegetables to soaps and flowers. However, this market is widely known for its leather goods — shoes, bags, and jackets — as its nickname "City of Leather" indicates. So every week, leather merchants from all over the island gather here, making this the place to visit for high-quality leather. Be sure to come early to get the best deals.

Shopping

Palma is a great place for shopping. The broad avenues around Plaza España have everything, from local curio shops selling tin soldiers to specialists selling Serrano ham. Ladies who want to buy clothes, head for the large Corte Inglés. However, more exciting and packed with small boutiques and designer names is the area behind Bar Bosch right opposite the H&M shop in central Palma by Plaza Joan Carlos l. For a more local flavour, the best market is to be found in Sineu on Wednesdays.
