Inca, Administrative municipality in Mallorca, Spain
Inca is a municipality on Mallorca situated at the foot of Serra de Tramuntana mountains, spanning across the central part of the island and connecting its northern and southern regions. The town sits along major routes that link different island areas together.
From the 17th through the 19th century, Inca thrived as a wine production center until phylloxera devastated local vineyards and forced the economy to shift direction. This agricultural crisis pushed the town toward leather manufacturing, which became its defining industry.
The weekly Thursday market draws crowds to the streets around Plaza España, where vendors display leather goods, fresh produce, flowers, and traditional Mallorcan crafts reflecting local trading customs.
Regular train services connect Inca to Palma, Sa Pobla, and Manacor, making it easy to reach different parts of the island for day trips. The central position allows visitors to explore nearby towns and landmarks without lengthy travel times.
Historic wine cellars throughout the town have been converted into restaurants known as 'cellers', where traditional Mallorcan food is served among original winemaking equipment and stone vaults. These spaces blend the past with present-day dining in a distinctive way.
