About Santa Ponsa
Santa Posa is perhaps most famous for being the location where Jaume I landed in 1229 before beginning his conquest of Mallorca, with the spot he came ashore marked with a large stone cross to commemorate the occasion. Not only has the town grown in popularity as a holiday destination for tourists, but a surprising number of expats have also come and made their homes in the area, giving it a unique culture and atmosphere.
Best Time To Visit Santa Ponsa
The summer season is the best time to visit Santa Ponsa if you’re looking for warm weather, with high temperatures between June and August with very few chances of rain. If you prefer milder weather, then the spring or the start of autumn will be ideal, whilst those who want to experience the town with as few other tourists as possible should travel between November and March to enjoy the off-season.
