Felanitx area guide: things to do, local history and walks
Felanitx gives you three ways to spend a morning. You can browse the town on market day, go up to Sant Salvador for the view, or head down to Portocolom and watch the boats. Trying all three is how a morning becomes a day out.
What to see and how to plan your visit
Visit Felanitx town first for its centre, then decide whether to make the separate trip to Sant Salvador or the coast. Portocolom works well as a half-day in its own right.
Local history and heritage
Sant Salvador’s sanctuary is a landmark above the town. The harbour and inland farmland show how different parts of the municipality developed around different livelihoods.
A short walk
Start with a harbour walk in Portocolom. Treat the climb to Sant Salvador as a separate outing and confirm a suitable route before setting out.
Regular markets
- Felanitx town: Sunday mornings in the town centre, including the streets around Plaça Pax. Check arrangements on public holidays.
- Portocolom: Tuesdays and Saturdays in Plaça del Comerç. The council also lists a seasonal Tuesday market in Plaça del Corso.
- S’Horta: Saturdays in Plaça de Sant Isidre. Cas Concos: Wednesdays in Plaça de l’Església.

Use the feast day as a guide, then check this year’s programme for the procession, music or other events you’d like to catch.
Beaches and swimming spots
- Cala Marçal. A sandy beach near Portocolom. It’s the one to start with if you want to combine a beach stop with lunch in the port.
- S’Arenal de Portocolom. A smaller beach across the harbour. Check the route rather than assuming you can cut straight across from the old waterfront.
- Cala Sa Nau. A small sandy cove for a separate trip. Check parking before you set off and go early if you’re visiting in summer.
Check the flag and current conditions on the day. If you need step-free access or specific facilities, use the linked beach information to pick your entrance.
Before you go, see our Mallorca beach etiquette and safety guide for swimming flags, Blue Flag beaches and what to do in an emergency.

What to eat here
On a Sunday, browse the Felanitx market for local produce and something savoury from a bakery. In Portocolom, ask what fish is available if you’re staying for lunch.
Good to know before you go
If you want a beach afternoon, pin Cala Marçal or the specific cove. The old harbour and the beaches have different approaches.
