Mercado del Claustro
Monument Indoor market in Palma selling local produce
Mercado del Claustro occupies a cloistered market space in the Balearic Islands, offering stalls with local produce, cheeses and crafts; visitors sample tapas, buy ingredients and browse artisan goods in a historic setting.
How to Get to Mercado del Claustro #
The market sits inside Palma’s old town near Plaça del Mercat. From Plaça de Cort it’s about a 6-10 minute walk along Carrer Major and narrow lanes; the nearest major landmark is the Cathedral (La Seu), roughly a 10-12 minute walk. Palma’s bus network (lines 1, 2 and others) stops near the cathedral; from the Estació Intermodal it’s a 15-20 minute walk.
Tips for Visiting Mercado del Claustro #
- Go early in the morning when the light through the cloister windows is soft and the vendors are just setting out their stalls.
- Look for Mallorcan specialities: ensaimada from local bakers, sobrassada in thin slices, and local wild asparagus when in season.
- Use the Mercado del Claustro's side entrance on Carrer del Conquistador to avoid the main tourist flow through Plaça del Mercat.
