Staying in Port de Pollença during the Festes del Carme
Mid-July is peak season on the bay and the port is at its most alive. If you are staying in one of our villas or apartments this week, most events are within easy walking distance of the harbour. The correfoc and fireworks on the final night are not to be missed. Parking in the centre will be limited on the busiest evenings, so arriving on foot is the most relaxed option.
We hope you enjoy the celebrations.
