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.
