Living here

Manacor is the market and service town of eastern Mallorca, about 50 km from Palma on the Ma-15. Around 33,800 people live in the city itself, which has the area’s public hospital, a train to Palma and a large Monday market. For buyers, that means a working town all year, with Porto Cristo’s beach about 15 minutes away.

Manacor stands at about 80 m, where the flat farmland of the Pla meets the low hills of the Serres de Llevant, about 12 km by road from Porto Cristo, its harbour town. Some 33,800 of the municipality’s roughly 49,000 residents live in the city, and most of the rest live in Porto Cristo. King Jaume II granted the town its charter in 1300, and it was given the title of city in 1912. For much of the 20th century it was known as the city of furniture, with hundreds of workshops, until the trade declined from the late 1980s. Artificial pearls have been made here since 1902, and Rafael Nadal grew up here.

The old centre grew up around the parish church of Nostra Senyora dels Dolors, a neo-Gothic building begun in 1890, whose very tall bell tower was finished in 1923. Close by stands the Torre del Palau, all that is left of a palace built under Jaume II in the early 14th century. A short walk away, the former Dominican convent of Sant Vicenç Ferrer keeps its church and cloister, and the town hall works from its buildings. The Torre dels Enagistes, an old fortified country house on the edge of town, holds the history museum, and the municipal theatre, opened in 1985, seats about 450.

Manacor works all year as the shopping and service centre for the east of the island. On Monday mornings the weekly market spreads from Plaça Ramon Llull towards the parish church, and a fruit and vegetable market runs from Monday to Saturday mornings in Plaça de la Constitució, known locally as Plaça de ses Verdures. Supermarkets, shops and services cover most everyday needs. The public health centre in Sa Torre, on Carrer d’en Simó Tort, opens on weekdays and runs urgent care (PAC) on nights and weekends. The Hospital de Manacor, the public hospital for the east of Mallorca, is on the Alcúdia road on the northern edge of town.

Families can choose between several primary schools and two state secondary schools, and the Rafa Nadal Academy, opened in 2016 on the edge of town, runs an international school for ages 10 to 18 that combines lessons with tennis coaching. Sant Antoni on 16 and 17 January is the town’s best-loved festival, the spring fair runs from late May into early June, and Sant Jaume, the patron saint, falls on 25 July. Trotting races are held at the municipal racecourse. The old railway towards Artà is now a 29 km greenway. By car, Porto Cristo and Petra are about 15 minutes away, Felanitx 15 to 20 and Artà 25.

Who buys here

Most people here were born in Spain, and the largest groups born abroad come from Latin America and North Africa. Among foreign buyers, the city makes most sense for those who want to live here all year in a real town: families with young tennis players drawn by the Rafa Nadal Academy, people who want the hospital, the train and everyday shops close at hand, and those happy to drive 15 minutes or so to the coast.

Property

The centre has townhouses and flats close to the shops, squares and market, with grander 19th-century houses on streets such as Carrer Nou, Carrer Major and Carrer de Pius XII. Fartàritx was already built up by the 17th century; the railway’s arrival in 1879 pushed the town north-west, and the sa Torre district followed the line’s extension in 1921. Later districts spread out from the 1950s, and the outskirts are less dense. Country houses lie among the fields around town and need a car. The general plan, in force since 2022, is online with its heritage catalogue and a flood-risk study.

Pros and cons

For

  • Public hospital and 24-hour urgent care in town
  • Shops, schools and markets that keep going all year
  • Trains to Palma, and an airport bus in every season
  • Porto Cristo’s beach and harbour about 15 minutes away

Against

  • No beach of its own; the nearest is a 15-minute drive
  • Narrow old streets and scarce central parking, worst on Mondays
  • Feels like a small city, with less village atmosphere
  • Palma is about 50 min by car and over an hour by train

Questions buyers ask

Can I live in Manacor without a car?

More easily than in most of the east. Manacor is the end of the train line from Palma: trains take about 70 minutes to the Estació Intermodal, with about 20 a day each way on weekdays and one an hour at weekends, and bus 401 also runs to Palma. For the airport, bus A42 runs from late March to the end of October and the A43 from November to late March.

How far is the beach?

Porto Cristo, Manacor’s own harbour town, is about 12 km away on the Ma-4020, roughly 15 minutes by car, with a sandy town beach and a marina. The municipality’s coast also includes smaller resorts such as S’Illot, Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia.

Where is the nearest hospital?

In town. The Hospital de Manacor, on the Alcúdia road, is the public hospital for the east of the island. The public health centre in Sa Torre opens on weekdays, and its urgent-care service (PAC) covers weeknights from 8pm and the whole weekend, so there is cover around the clock.

Is there an international school?

Yes, though it is built around tennis. The Rafa Nadal Academy, opened in 2016 on the edge of town, includes the Rafa Nadal International School for ages 10 to 18, which combines lessons with tennis coaching. Manacor also has several primary schools and two state secondary schools, IES Mossèn Alcover and IES Manacor.

What should I check before buying an older house?

Manacor’s general plan, whose final approval was published in January 2022, is online with a heritage catalogue and a flood-risk study. Check whether the house is protected and whether it lies in a flood-prone area, make sure any extensions are legal and registered, and confirm a licence before planning holiday lets.
