Inca
Inca
A working inland city in the centre of Mallorca, famous for its huge Thursday market, its leather workshops and its traditional celler restaurants.
Inca is the third-largest city in Mallorca, in the centre of the island, about half an hour from Palma by car or train. It has never been a tourist resort, and that is part of its appeal. Inca is a real working place, known across the island for leather making, for its old wine cellars turned into restaurants, and most of all for its Thursday market, one of the biggest on Mallorca. It is where to come for an everyday, local side of the island.
What [Destination] is known for
Inca is best known as Mallorca's leather town. Shoe and leather making have been part of life here for centuries, and the town is home to well-known Mallorcan brands such as Camper and Lottusse, along with many smaller workshops and factory shops. Its long trade history is why Inca was granted the title of city in 1900. You can learn the full story at the Museu de la Pell, the local leather museum. The town is just as famous for its Thursday market, one of the largest on the island, which fills the whole historic centre with stalls of leather goods, fresh produce, ceramics and crafts. Once a year, on the third Thursday of November, the market grows into Dijous Bo, Mallorca's biggest autumn fair, drawing huge crowds for a single day. Inca is also the home of the celler, an old wine cellar turned into a restaurant. Several of the island's best are here, serving traditional Mallorcan cooking under the original wine vats. The Baroque church of Santa Maria la Major stands at the centre of the old town.

Things to do in [Destination]
Start at the Thursday market if you can, when the streets of the old centre fill with stalls and the town is at its liveliest. Any day of the week, you can browse the leather factory shops for shoes and bags, often cheaper than in Palma, then sit down to a long traditional lunch in one of the historic cellers. Inca sits at the foot of the Tramuntana, so it is also a handy stop for cyclists heading into the mountains on the climbs north of town, which lead towards Lluc and the famous Sa Calobra road.
Where to stay in [Destination] (City)
Inca is a working inland city rather than a tourist base, so most visitors stay in Palma or the coastal resorts and visit as a day trip. A handful of rural hotels and agrotourism properties sit in the countryside around the city.
Food and drink in [Destination]
Inca's great speciality is the celler, an old wine cellar converted into a restaurant. These atmospheric places serve hearty Mallorcan dishes under the original barrels, and a few of the island's most famous are here. The town is also a good place to buy local wines, sausages and cheeses at the Thursday market.

Travel tips for visiting [Destination]
The market runs every Thursday from early morning until about 1:30pm, so come early and expect the centre to be busy. Take the train from Palma on market day to avoid the difficult parking. For the leather bargains, look around the factory shops near the train station and the industrial edge of town. Book a celler for lunch rather than dinner, when they are at their most traditional. For the full experience, visit during Dijous Bo on the third Thursday of November, the island's biggest fair. Quieter months are best if you prefer to see the everyday, local side of Inca.
