Getting there

  • By car from Palma: about 24 min, 18.3 km (our own measurement on the OSM road network, without traffic; method)
  • From Palma by the Ma-1110 (about 17 km, about 30 min).
  • Parking: Two paid car parks: a larger one on the Ma-1110 at the entrance to the town and a smaller one on Plaça Blanquerna, which fills up quickly; rates from two guidebooks differ (about €2 an hour and up to €10-12 a day), so it is worth having cash.
  • Restrictions: The blue zone in the centre applies daily from 10:00 to 20:00 (1 April-31 October) and until 18:00 (1 November-31 March) according to one guidebook.
  • Without a car: stop Valldemossa 1, about 307 m on foot (about 4 min), lines 203 (GTFS CTM; all places without a car)
