Located in the heart of Palma near Plaça d’Espanya, the Mercado del Olivar (Mercat de l’Olivar) has served as Mallorca’s premier municipal food hall since 1951. Bustling with local residents and chefs, this vibrant two-story market hall is the ultimate culinary showcase for Balearic Island gastronomy.
