Marratxí: one municipality, many villages

Marratxí is a municipality in Mallorca in the Raiguer district (comarca) and borders Palma, Bunyola and Santa Maria. There is no single main town called Marratxí: the town council describes the municipality as a group of more than 27 separate settlements. It covers 54.18 square kilometres and, according to the official population register published by Spain’s statistics office INE, had 40,422 inhabitants on 1 January 2025. The council itself highlights its proximity to Palma.

To be clear: Marratxí lies outside our core area in the southwest of the island, where our office in Paguera is based. We still handle the listings on this page ourselves and accompany viewings in person by appointment. This page shows only listings with the location Marratxí; you will find our full portfolio in the property list for Mallorca, the neighbouring city under property for sale in Palma and our focus areas, for example, under property for sale in Paguera.

The villages: historic centres and urbanisations

The town council’s records list Marratxinet, Pòrtol, Sa Cabaneta, Es Pla de na Tesa and Es Pont d’Inca as the historic villages of the municipality. Marratxinet was the centre until the end of the 17th century; the municipal administration sat there in the house Can Vador until the Casa de la Vila (town hall) moved to Sa Cabaneta in 1864. Pòrtol goes back to the division of the old Pòrtula estate from 1671 onwards. Sa Cabaneta grew up in the 18th century and is recorded as “La Cabaneta” in 1745. Es Pla de na Tesa and Es Pont d’Inca followed in the 19th century; Pont d’Inca grew with the road and the railway, whose Palma–Inca line opened in 1875.

From the 1960s onwards, urbanisations appeared that shape the municipality today. The council lists, among others, Es Figueral and Can Farineta (1965–1969), Cas Capità (1966), Sa Cabana (1972), Pòrtol Nou and Son Ramonell Nou (1973), Es Garrovers (1975), Es Pont d’Inca Nou (1979) and Es Caülls (1987). Sant Marçal and Son Verí are also part of the municipality. For the name Marratxí, recorded as “Marraxi” in 1242, the council gives several possible origins.

Clay and pottery

According to the town council, pottery is the most important craft product of the municipality. The tradition of the “olles de Pòrtol” (Pòrtol cooking pots) began at the end of the 17th century and reached its greatest extent in the 19th and 20th centuries; the raw material came from the red clay pits of Pòrtol and the white clay of Es Pou d’es Coll. Today potteries are still working in Pòrtol and Sa Cabaneta, linked by the signposted Ruta del Fang (clay route).

The Museu del Fang (clay museum) is housed in a windmill in Sa Cabaneta (Carrer Molí 4). The municipality bought the mill in 1997 and the museum opened in 2002; its collection comprises around 900 pieces, 400 of them traditional pottery. The pottery fair Fira del Fang has been held since 1984; its 41st edition took place from 5 to 15 March 2026 in Sant Marçal. The council also organises the Biennal Internacional de Ceràmica and runs its own pottery school.
