Living here

Maria de la Salut (María de la Salud in Castilian) is a farming village in the north of the Pla, about 50 minutes from Palma by car, where around 2,460 people live among fields and old estates. It has a Friday market, a primary school and a health unit, and village life is quiet and firmly inland.

Maria lies in the north of the Pla, between Sineu, Llubí, Ariany and Santa Margalida. The municipality covers about 30 square kilometres, mostly farmland, with woodland around the Montblanc estate in the east. For centuries it was part of Santa Margalida. Its first chapel was begun in 1592, when about twenty houses stood around the Plaça de Dalt, and the village later grew along Carrer Major and Carrer de s’Arraval. After a campaign that began in 1796, it became a municipality of its own in 1836. The village sits on two low ridges, so some cross streets are steep, with steps in places.

Daily life centres on the Plaça des Pou, where the town hall stands and the weekly market sets up on Friday mornings. The village has a few food shops, a pharmacy, a library and a municipal sports centre with an outdoor pool. Children start at the state primary school, CEIP Maria de la Salut, and go on to IES Sineu. The public health unit on Carrer des Pujolet opens on weekdays, out-of-hours care is in Sineu, and the reference hospital is in Inca. Sineu’s train station is about 10 minutes away, and TIB bus line 441 loops between it, Maria and Ariany.

Several of the village’s festivals have their roots in farming. The patron saint’s day, 8 September, traditionally marked the start of a new agricultural year, and the main fiestas are held around it. In August a night fair in the Plaça des Pou celebrates the tomàtiga de ramellet, the Mallorcan tomato that is strung up in bunches so it keeps for months. The Baratillo des Pla, a second-hand and craft fair, has long filled the central streets on the last Sunday of September. Around the village, fields of cereals, melons, garlic and tomatoes surround old estates such as Roqueta, Deulosal and Montblanc, and more than twenty archaeological sites.

Who buys here

Maria has a deep-rooted farming tradition, and most of its residents are Spanish. The population fell below 1,800 in the 1990s and has grown since, to about 2,460 in 2025. The town’s planning study found a foreign minority in 2021, singling out Moroccans and Germans. Look here for a lived-in village with its own market and school, a country house among the fields, or the train at Sineu and the Bay of Alcúdia within easy reach.

Property

Almost every residential building in Maria is a single-family house. The oldest streets are Carrer Major and Carrer de s’Arraval. In the centre, traditional Mallorcan houses stand in terraces on the street line, many on narrow plots with a ground and first floor, and newer houses sit towards the northern edge. In the western countryside, farmland was split into small plots dotted with country houses; the east is mostly large estates and woodland. A new general plan has been going through approval since 2023, so ask the planning office what applies to any plot, and have a lawyer check that every building on a country property is legal and registered.

Questions buyers ask

Is there a train?

Not in the village. TIB bus line 441 links it with Sineu station, about 10 minutes away by car, and from there trains on the Palma–Manacor line take about 50 minutes to Palma’s Estació Intermodal. Check the bus times against the trains before you rely on it.

Is there a doctor in Maria de la Salut?

Yes. The public health unit on Carrer des Pujolet opens Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:00 to 15:00, and Wednesday from 13:00 to 20:00. It belongs to the Sineu health centre, whose urgent care point (PAC) covers evenings, nights and weekends. The reference hospital is the Hospital Comarcal d’Inca, about 20 minutes by car.

Where do children go to school?

The village has a state primary school, CEIP Maria de la Salut, which teaches children up to the age of 12. For secondary school its pupils are assigned to IES Sineu, about 10 minutes away.

When are the market and the main fiestas?

The weekly market is on Friday mornings in the Plaça des Pou, in front of the town hall. The patron saint’s day is 8 September, with the main fiestas around it, and the tomato night fair is in August. The Baratillo des Pla fair has traditionally been held on the last Sunday of September.

What is happening with the local planning rules?

A new general plan is on its way. The town council gave it initial approval in September 2023, and gave initial approval to its second and third phases in November 2025, each time followed by public consultation. Ask the planning office which rules apply to the plot or house you want.
