Pont Romà (Roman Bridge) & Torrent de Sant Jordi Walk
On the southern edge of Pollença town, a single-arched stone bridge that locals call the Pont Romà (though it is more likely medieval than Roman) spans the Torrent de Sant Jordi in a setting so quietly beautiful that most visitors drive straight past it. The stream banks are shaded by plane trees and the surrounding flat fields are threaded with easy walking paths almost entirely free of tourist t
The Bridge & Its Story
The bridge's exact age is debated — Roman origins are claimed but not conclusively proven, and most historians date the current structure to the medieval period. What is certain is that it has been a crossing point on the old road north for at least 700 years, and its single graceful arch over the seasonal stream is one of the most photogenic spots in the Pollença municipality.
Early morning mist sometimes settles in the flat valley here, giving the bridge an almost mystical quality before the sun burns it off by 9 a.m. — photographers who set an alarm will not regret it.
The Valley Walk
A flat, unpaved track follows the torrent east from the bridge through agricultural land, passing old stone walls, almond groves and the occasional farmhouse with a barking dog behind an iron gate. The walk is easy, takes about an hour at a relaxed pace, and connects eventually with paths toward the Ermita de la Victòria on the Alcúdia peninsula if you want a longer day.
This is a genuinely local spot — you are far more likely to encounter a Pollença resident walking their dog than another tourist. Bring a picnic and find a flat stone by the water.
