Pollença, a place with stories to share

Few places on this beautiful island can offer you so much art, music, heritage, nature and cuisine as the town of Pollença can. We’re not the first to realise this, that’s for sure: look at luminaries such as famed British violinist Philip Newman who spotted the town’s artistic and musical potential when he fell in love with Pollença and turned it into a world epicentre of classical music, creating a festival that has been held ever since 1962. What’s more, Winston Churchill chose to holiday here, Spanish painter Anglada Camarsa was drawn to the area by its stunning beauty, and in 1932 British writer Agatha Christie was inspired by the bay and ended up reflecting it in her classic “Problem at Pollensa Bay”.

Local poet Costa i Llobera masterfully transmitted the beauty and classical resonance of “The Pine Tree of Formentor”, which is still revered at the Literary Conversations held since 1959 at the present-day Hotel Barceló Formentor. In a similar vein, the town’s commitment to the world of culture remains firm to this very day. Tales that are within your reach to listen to, feel, experience or share with whoever you may wish.
