Driving distance from the town centre of Inca, Google Maps, checked October 12, 2026. The villa itself may be a few minutes closer or further, and summer traffic adds time.
What staying here is like
- It suits groups who want shops, restaurants and a substantial Thursday market within the town rather than a coastal resort setting.
- Food-focused stays can combine the market with Inca's traditional celler restaurants and a MICHELIN Guide-listed restaurant.
- Walkers can explore the Santa Magdalena area, where the municipality's heritage route reaches a hilltop hermitage.
- It is not a beach base: Inca is in the centre of Mallorca, so beach days are outings beyond the municipality.
Towns and villages
- Inca historic centre: The Thursday market spreads through the historic centre, from the railway station to Plaça d’Orient via Plaça de la Quartera, Gran Via de Colom and Plaça de Santa Maria la Major.
- Santa Magdalena area: The eastern part of the municipality includes the Santa Magdalena massif, with Puig de Santa Magdalena and the higher Puig de la Minyó.
Highlights
- Inca Footwear and Industry Museum: At Avinguda General Luque 223, the museum traces the history and tradition of footwear in Mallorca.
- Thursday market: The market fills the historic centre with fresh produce, local products, crafts and leather goods.
- Puig de Santa Magdalena and hermitage: A municipal heritage route crosses the Santa Magdalena massif to a hermitage documented from 1284.
