The ancient and tranquil city of Pollenca in Mallorca has a strategic location on the hillocks, fading away on the coastal land, which is surprisingly flat. It is located a few kilometers from the seashore, with the intention of protecting the locals from attacks by pirates, which were too unexpected at times, and pollution is a great place. This one city survived the destruction, and today there are very few pieces of the Middle Ages. Ancient times are visible only from stone houses, which are closely connected in twisted alleys, and they date back to the 18th century. The main center here is Place Major and is home to a large number of cafes. It also covers the church, which is made of stones bleached by the sun.
However, one thing that makes this city interesting and attractive to most tourists who make their way to Spain is Via Crucis, which is believed to be the place where Jesus went to Calvary with a cross. The route has cypresses lining it, as well as beautiful steep stone stairs. Then he climbs the Calvary Hill, which stands on the northern part of the square. At the top of this hill stands the famous statue in the region. The statue depicts the mother of Jesus Mary and stands on the spot where she was, where she stood, looking at Jesus after his crucifixion.
Via Crucis is most in demand on Good Friday, as people slowly transfer the figure of Jesus to the church, to the holiday called Davallam, which means a decline. This simply means that March and April are the best months to visit a city in Spain, for those who would like to participate in a celebration or simply witness the descent through the famous intersection.
Another site requiring a visit is the monastery dating back to the 18th century and offering beautiful views of the city, as it stands in a very picturesque place at high altitude. This is definitely a great place to visit, to spend time on your own or even have a picnic with your loved one. The city of Pollenca has more religious value, due to the history of the people here and mainly attracts Christians from all over the world. However, there are all kinds of tourists in this area, as they are open to anyone interested in visiting this place.
