Markets in Alaró
Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands
The Alaró market runs every Saturday morning on Plaça de la Vila, in the centre of this small inland town at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana. Around 30 stalls cover clothing, footwear, and handmade Mallorcan handicrafts, making it a compact but well-rounded weekly market. The cafés around the square fill quickly on market mornings, so arriving early is worth it.

Where to stay in Alaró
Alaró is a small inland village, so your best bet is to stay in the village centre itself, where you can walk to the local market with ease. Try Alaró town centre for a handful of rural guesthouses and agriturismos that put you right in the heart of things.
If you prefer more options for accommodation, the nearby town of Consell or even Palma make practical bases, with Palma just 30 minutes away by car. Palma city centre gives you easy access to Alaró while offering a full range of hotels to suit any budget.
Alaró is a small mountain village in the heart of Mallorca, so accommodation options are limited but charming. Staying in Alaró town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the village's main square, which is exactly where you want to be. For something with a bit more rural character, look for a finca or agrotourism property on the outskirts, like Alaró countryside, where you can enjoy the surrounding Tramuntana landscape and still drive into the village in minutes.
If you'd prefer more choice in terms of hotels and restaurants, the nearby town of Consell or the larger centre of Binissalem are worth considering as a base. That said, staying right in Alaró itself gives you the best feel for the place, and the village is small enough that everything is on your doorstep.
Tours & Activities in Alaró
Street markets in Alaró
The Alaró Street Market occupies Plaça de la Vila and the surrounding streets each Saturday morning. Its 30 stalls focus on clothing, leather footwear, and locally made handicrafts rather than food, so it is best visited as part of a morning in town rather than a grocery run. The square's mountain backdrop and the surrounding terrace bars make it a pleasant stop if you are touring the interior of Mallorca.
