The residential town of Inca, situated in the interior of Mallorca in the Raiguer region and at the foot of the Serra del Norte, is the third largest city on the island. Inca, with more than 30.000 inhabitants, has a charming and traditional atmosphere, combining nature and urban life, and is located about 20 minutes by car from the center of Palma.
In addition to its pleasant old town and elegant pedestrian zone, it has a beautiful architecture in the residential area which also shines with its romantic church square with numerous cafés and restaurants.
Furthermore, there is a modern train station from where residents can travel to towns such as Palma, Manacor and Sa Pobla. Inca also offers its residents a large number of fashionable shops and local boutiques, so that it is not necessary to travel to Palma for shopping. And above all, the weekly market on Thursdays is of great interest, with stalls offering, among other things, fresh fruit and vegetables from the island.
The town of Inca is the perfect combination of tranquility and the comfort of a city, all in a natural environment. As for the history of Inca, for centuries it has been the center of Mallorcan leather and shoe craftsmanship. Today, the town produces and sells all kinds of shoes, bags, belts, wallets, furniture covers and much more. In addition to its original wine cellars, which show that Inca was once a wine-growing town.
Inca also has a lot to offer its residents in terms of gastronomy. For example, the 300 year old bodega "Celler Can Amer" offers first class Mallorcan cuisine, with delicious dishes such as "frito mallorquín" (fried Mallorcan fish) or "paleta de cordero rellena" (stuffed lamb shoulder). In addition, the "Restaurante Joan Marc" impresses with delicious dishes and very good service in a great atmosphere.

Furthermore, you can visit the spectacular Dominican monastery "Convent de Sant Domingo", from 1604, as well as the charming church "Sant Francesc" which attracts many visitors to the city. And finally, another highlight to visit in Inca, full of charm, is the wax museum.
Something that undoubtedly represents the city and brings a lot of interest on a regional level, is the agricultural market, the fair "Dijous Bo", which is celebrated in autumn and translates as "Fat Thursday". This festival is held every year on the second Thursday in November and attracts more than 200,000 islanders and visitors.

Residents and visitors can enjoy the beautiful natural landscape as well as the historical trails, where artifacts such as the typical Mallorcan windmills can be found.
