INCA is the agricultural and market center on
Mallorca in the middle of the island, and the second
largest city. The Thursday markets, at which both modern and old-fashioned farming
equipment can be purchased, as well as all sorts of livestock, poultry,
produce, and any other odds or ends needed for the rustic life gives Inca an
important place in the economy of Mallorca.

It is here that one is offered the
greatest variety of leather goods:
jackets
shoes
purses
coats
at the lowest prices.

There are 20.000 inhabitants and many outsiders from surrounding villages come
into Inca daily to swell the work-force of this lively town. "Dijous Bo" (Good Thursday), the most important of
agricultural fairs in
Mallorca, is held in the
first Thursday of November in Inca. Inca, in short, forms the agricultural
nexus for the entire area.
The"Celleres or Cellars", marvelously cool eating houses, located in subterranean
vaulted cave-like structures, are very popular and feature the traditional
dishes of the
Island. Most typical are roasted
suckling pig (lechona), frit, a mixture of all sorts
of animal innards fried together with herbs and hot peppers, the sopas mallorquinas (a heavy bread
and vegetable soup), pork tenderloin in cabbage leaves or, if winter, thrush
wrapped in cabbage, and, of course, all this doused down with the heavy wine
that goes well with this peasant food and which more than often comes from the
barrels that flank the walls of these cellar-restaurants.
Very little of architectural interest in Inca. The
widening of avenues and squares and the modernizing of the city in general has
tended to spoil and original charm. The parish
church of
Santa Maria
la Mayor is of some importance as is the nuns convent
of San Jerónimo and the original Son Fuster inn, a leftover from the old village days. Inca is
centrally located and must be passed through to reach very many other points on
the island.
It
is certainly worth a shopping and eating visit. Good transportation from and to
Palma.
