Today we did a little excursion to Sineu.
Sineu you find really in the middle of the island.
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.
Parroquia Nuestra Señora De Los Angeles
Let's go in.
Surprisingly bright and light, for a church in Spain.
And pretty interesting figures.
Hear, hear, cool equipment.
Artwork.
Light through the pretty windows.
Yes, holy lamb. Sacrificial?
Cool windows.
Sineu is known for its lively market on Wednesdays.
Well, mid-January, even though a sunny day, there
were not that many people around. And the market
was also limited. All bars and restaurants were closed,
some offered takeaways. Corona winter.
We'll be back when there is more action around.
Yes, it is winter, see the snow covered mountains!
