Getting there
- By car from Palma: about 31 min, 23.5 km (our own measurement on the OSM road network, without traffic; method)
- Binissalem lies a dozen or so kilometres from Palma on the railway line to Inca; on the night of the festival the SFM train is recommended, because parking in the town is difficult.
- Parking: Car parks on the outskirts, which fill quickly on the main days.
- Restrictions: Street closures in the centre during the parade and the Gran Revetla.
