Creu del revolt de La Salve near Pollença

Creu del revolt de La Salve

The Creu del revolt de La Salve is one of those historic landmarks that offer a particularly vivid insight into Mallorca’s cultural landscape. It is a cross near Pollença in the north of the island.

The detour is particularly suitable for travelers who want to discover more of Pollença than its best-known views. Those interested in overlooked traces of history will find a historic destination here. It is less suitable as a standalone day trip; the visit is more rewarding as part of a historical tour through Pollença.

The Creu del revolt de La Salve is a historic sight near Pollença in northern Mallorca.

Visiting

The best way to begin is by finding the correct location. The Creu del revolt de La Salve is listed as a historic sight near Pollença. Once there, attention centers on the cross itself.

For orientation, the full name is more important than it may initially seem. Several crosses are mentioned in and around Pollença, including the Creu de l’oratori del Roser Vell and other crosses at the entrance to the town. When navigating, you should therefore explicitly select “Creu del revolt de La Salve.” This helps avoid accidentally arriving at another monument with a similar name.

Current opening hours and an admission price are not available. It is therefore advisable to check current accessibility before traveling. This is especially important if the Creu del revolt de La Salve is the main reason for your journey to Pollença. If it is part of a visit to the town that is already planned, your schedule remains more flexible should conditions on site have changed.

There is no reliable basis for recommending a particularly quiet time of day. It therefore makes sense to include the stop in your own walk through Pollença and allow enough time and attention for navigation and locating the site.

Getting there

From Palma and the airport, the main route initially leads to Pollença. From Palma Airport, the road distance to Pollença is 57 kilometers; the drive takes around 45 minutes. The route follows Ma-30, Ma-13 and Ma-2200. From central Palma, the road distance to Pollença is 54 kilometers, and you should allow around 50 minutes. This route follows Ma-13 and Ma-2200.

These distances and driving times explicitly apply only as far as Pollença, not directly to the Creu del revolt de La Salve. For the final section, use the sight’s full name in your navigation system. This is especially important for this destination because other crosses are listed nearby, and searching only for “Creu” can easily lead to the wrong location.

Current navigation information is essential for the final section.

No bus stop in the immediate vicinity is listed either. Anyone traveling to Pollença by public transport should therefore plan the final section separately in advance and not assume that they can get off directly at the monument. If combining the visit with the old town, it may be more practical to use Pollença as a starting point and check the cross’s exact location from there.

The journey is therefore straightforward as long as Pollença remains the initial navigation destination and the final section is considered separately. The Ma-13 covers the long stretch from the direction of Palma, while the Ma-2200 continues to Pollença. Only then does the local search for the historic cross begin.

Nearby

Pollença provides an appropriate historical setting for the sight. The town lies in northern Mallorca and is part of the Serra de Tramuntana landscape. Its historic center and various religious and historical traces make it a useful starting point for seeing the Creu del revolt de La Salve not as an isolated point on a map, but as part of the local cultural landscape.

An obvious option is to combine it with a walk through the historic town center. This allows the Creu del revolt de La Salve to be included in a visit to Pollença.

Anyone wishing to explore this theme in greater depth can include other historical markers around Pollença. The Creu de l’oratori del Roser Vell, crosses at the entrance to the town, and the Mirador del molí vell are listed as additional nearby destinations. They should not be confused with the Creu del revolt de La Salve, but they offer an opportunity to create a themed walking route with several stops.

For an excursion with a stronger focus on scenery, Pollença can then be combined with the northern coast. Port de Pollença, Cala Sant Vicenç, and the coves of Formentor are among the destinations mentioned in the wider area. The Creu del revolt de La Salve can serve as a cultural and historical introduction before continuing toward the coast.

Anyone traveling solely because of the monument should carefully check its exact location and current accessibility in advance. Those already visiting Pollença can take a more relaxed approach to the search and include the cross as an additional historical trace on a walk they have already planned.
