Where can I find local markets with fresh food for a picnic on the island?

In the bustling heart of Palma, the Mercat de l'Olivar is a must-visit for anyone looking to assemble a picnic basket filled with local flavors. Here, stalls brim with freshly baked ensaimadas, fragrant sobrassada, and seasonal produce straight from nearby fields. The lively atmosphere buzzes with locals selecting ripe tomatoes, olives, and artisan cheeses, making it impossible not to be tempted by the variety on offer. On Saturdays, the Mercat d'Inca, a little inland at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana, presents a sprawling scene where farmers display vibrant fruits, fresh herbs, and cured meats like the island’s famous sobrasada, perfect for an authentic Mallorcan picnic.
