Sencelles is a small village with a couple of local cafes and a popular restaurant, a minimarket, bakery, fishmonger and pharmacy. Being quite central in the island Sencelles offers a good base for exploring with a choice of beaches and towns to visit just 30 or so minutes’ drive away.
Close to Sencelles is the Santa Eugenia Nature Park which hosts a wide variety of animals and birds and a small zoo for children. Just west is the town of Consell which has an outdoor market selling antique furniture every Sunday. Just to the north lies the market town of Inca famous for producing a vast range of leather goods and shoes. The most traditional island market is at nearby Sineu on a Wednesday morning and a great place to find gifts and mementoes along with fresh fruit and vegetables.
There are three beaches to choose all at around 35 minutes’ drive from Sencelles on the north east coast – Can Picafort, Alcudia and Port de Pollenca. Of course further afield around the entire island there is a huge choice of lovely beaches and coves to explore.
