Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Art Artà – shop, museum or café?
Art Artà is described in reviews as a mix of shop, café/bar and, in some cases, museum. Several visitors mention a shop at the front, a café area in the back courtyard and exhibition spaces upstairs. The website is http://www.artarta.es/ for the latest details. Its Google rating is 4.6 from 103 reviews.
Is there still a café at Art Artà, or has that changed since Covid?
Reviews give mixed information: some visitors still describe a café area in the back courtyard, while others say there has been no café since Covid. What is clearly mentioned is that the site can combine several functions, including a shop and, in part, a museum. If you are planning a visit for food or drinks, it is worth checking the website or calling +34 971 83 59 39 first.
How much is admission, and is there a discount card?
Reviews mention a few specific prices: museum entry is reported at €4, and the church sacristy at €2. One reviewer also notes that an Artà card may affect the entry fee. As prices can change, it is best to check the current conditions directly with Art Artà or on http://www.artarta.es/ before you go.
Do you need to book in advance, or reserve transport back?
No review states that a booking is required for the visit itself. For the return journey on market days, planning ahead is sensible: one reviewer reports a wait of around 3.5 hours for a taxi back to Cala Millor, and another mentions only about 3 taxis for all of Artà. Buses are said to run roughly every hour, but they can be very full.
Is there parking, especially on Tuesdays when the market is on?
Several reviews confirm that Tuesday is market day in Artà, and parking becomes more limited then. Some visitors say it is still manageable if you arrive early. Because the place can be a little hidden, it is sensible to allow extra time for getting there. Art Artà is in Artà and can be reached on foot from the town centre.
What kind of food and drinks are served at Art Artà?
Reviews mention tapas, small plates, snacks and homemade cakes. Local products such as cured ham and cheese are also listed; one example gives €15 for two platters of cured ham and local cheeses plus sangria for two people. Several visitors also mention almond cake and walnut cake. Food may be prepared fresh, so there can be a short wait.
Can the courtyard café be used in bad weather?
Reviews describe the café area as a courtyard or back yard, so it is an outdoor space. Several visitors mention that it is shady and cool, which is useful on warm days. In rain or strong wind, an outdoor seat is naturally less suitable. If you want to plan around the weather, a quick call to +34 971 83 59 39 is sensible.
