Sineu is a Majorcan town in the very middle of the island.
It is well known for its Wednesday market.
The town’s biggest treasure is its history. For forty years – from 1309
until 1349 – Sineu was the capital of Majorca. At the time king Jaume II
ordered that the royal residence should be within easy reach of all
citizens and Sineu in the centre of Majorca was just the right place.
When the king also granted the village market rights, Sineu became
the centre for business and trade. Today the Wednesday market is
still the biggest farmers’ market on the island.
Should I ever buy any birds for my garden ... these funky guys would do.
The local dog club is presenting their special dogs.
Wikipedia knows:
The Ca Rater Mallorquí or Spanish: Ratonero mallorquínis used on the
island of Mallorca to hunt rats and rabbits. It is a good watchdog,
and a good companion animal.
Kids love this opportunity to ride a pony!
Sineu market, one of the oldest in Mallorca, with over 700 years of
history, instituted by Jaime II of Mallorca in 1306, was the main market
for trading of the farmers of the island for centuries. Market Sineu is one of
the busiest, is held every Wednesday of the year, has its loyal following of
Mallorca, country people and tourists, is the only one sale of live animals,
especially indigenous breeds of Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza .
Nevertheless, I still do think that the market in Artá is better.
Tuesdays, as you already know.

Sineu is littered with interesting architecture, but the cream of the crop
is definitely the parish church.

And check this: Jesus with a bleeding heart!!!
But no worries, the floor is not getting dirty,
there is a putto holding a goblet underneath.
