Rafal Nou Market

Every Friday, the Rafal Nou neighbourhood comes alive with the Rafal Nou Market, a weekly market held between Selva and Ses Salines streets, which has become a popular local meeting place for the residents of Palma. Open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the market invites you to spend the morning browsing the stalls of fresh fruit and vegetables, with a particular focus on the island’s seasonal produce, such as Mallorcan figs, mangoes, mandarins and locally grown vegetables.

In addition to food shopping, the market offers a variety of ornamental plants, flowers and cacti, ideal for those who want to bring a touch of nature into the home, as well as clothing, footwear and fashion accessories for everyday use. This mixture is what makes the Rafal Nou Market a perfect blend of practicality and a neighbourhood atmosphere, offering a truly authentic experience without the hustle and bustle of the big tourist markets.

This is a gentle way for visitors to experience the neighbourhood of La Palma, taking their time, chatting to the shopkeepers, smelling the fruit fresh from the fields and, if they wish, combining their stroll with a coffee or a simple lunch at one of the local establishments. This balance between the everyday and the slightly picturesque is precisely what makes this market a discreet but very sincere experience of local life in Palma.
