Located in the heart of the island, just 30 minutes from the centre of Palma, the airport, and the beaches, Sineu is one of the most popular towns for foreigners who are interested in authentic Mallorcan lifestyle without sacrificing modern day comforts. It has a very popular market which is held every Wednesday, attracting people from all over the island. It boasts a variety of stalls, with local products, foods, clothes, books and even farm animals. Sineu has about 3,600 inhabitants and boasts an extensive culinary offer. Additionally, it also provides several coffee shops, hotels, a pharmacy, and a train station. Its old parish church with a seven-story bell tower stands out from afar. A small museum home to a collection of medieval ceramics can be visited on market days and is located right next to Santa María church.
A stroll through Sineu’s streets is very recommendable, where one can come across ancient wells, crosses, olive branches adorning the façades, old restaurants and stately home.
Its old mills can be seen all over the island, which reminds us of the importance of cereal cultivation on the land.
