Consell area guide: things to do, local history and walks
The Sunday flea market is many people’s introduction to Consell. There’s a village to see beyond the stalls, and vineyards in practically every direction. If you’re coming for a tasting, book ahead and give yourself time for a wander around Plaça Major.
What to see and how to plan your visit
Use the church square and surrounding streets as the centre of your visit. Check the local calendar if you want to time it around a market.
Local history and heritage
Consell’s stone buildings and surrounding agricultural land show how village life and farming have long been linked. The town is a useful stop alongside a wider look at the Raiguer’s wine country.
At Plaça Major, look for the parish church of Nostra Senyora de la Visitació and the Casa de la Vila, the town hall. The Consell’s village guide uses the square as the starting point for a walk.
A short walk
An easy public-street circuit around the village is a better starting point than an unverified track through vineyards.
Regular markets
- Thursdays in Plaça Major and nearby streets in Consell village.
- Sunday mornings at the Mercat dels Encants flea market in Consell’s industrial estate.

What makes this area special
Consell sits among the vineyards of central Mallorca. Its Sunday flea market brings people in from across the island, while the streets around Plaça Major still revolve around village life.
Attractions and things to do
- See the parish church of Nostra Senyora de la Visitació and the town hall at Plaça Major.
- Browse the Sunday Mercat dels Encants for second-hand finds, or arrange a tasting at a local winery in advance.
Fiestas and saints’ days
- Sant Antoni, 17 January. The traditional programme includes animal blessings in Plaça Major and a bonfire.
- Sant Bartomeu, 24 August. The summer patronal festivities often begin a week or two earlier, with outdoor suppers and village events.

What to eat here
Look for wines from Consell in the Binissalem denomination. If you’re visiting the flea market, lunch in the village or a tasting booked beforehand makes the morning last a little longer.
Good to know before you go
The flea market and Plaça Major are separate stops. Check the market address and arrange a driver if there’s a tasting in the plan. Check the TIB planner if you’re relying on public transport.
