Where can I find a pharmacy near Palma or other towns on the island for medication?

Many of the pharmacies on the island trace their origins to traditional apothecaries that served local communities long before tourism grew. In Palma, the capital, you'll find numerous well-established pharmacies spread across neighborhoods like Santa Catalina and the old town, often marked by a green cross. These pharmacies stock a broad range of prescription medicines and common over-the-counter remedies, including familiar Spanish brands and international products.

Outside Palma, towns such as Sóller, Pollença, and Manacor also have several pharmacies accessible by car or the efficient TIB bus network. These tend to be smaller but usually offer attentive service and local expertise, with staff familiar with both seasonal ailments and traveller needs. Pharmacies near popular spots like Alcúdia’s old town or Valldemossa offer a convenient stop if you’re exploring the Serra de Tramuntana.

When staying at hotels or rural agroturismos, reception desks often provide up-to-date information about nearby pharmacies as well as opening hours, which can vary, especially on Sundays or holidays such as Sant Sebastià. It’s advisable to carry any prescriptions, and for specific or branded medication, a quick phone call ahead can save you time. Overall, access to pharmacies is good across the island, whether you’re cruising along the Ma-15 toward the northeast coast or relaxing near the coves of Cala Mondragó.
