Marratxí is a municipality in the Raiguer region of Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands of Spain. As of 2005, it has a population of 28,237 and an area of 54 km². It is also a station on the Majorca rail network. It became a municipality on 9 November 1932.[1]

There is no central town in the municipality; instead, it is an agglomeration of the villages of Pont d’Inca (16,518), Pla de na Tesa (3,304), Pòrtol[2] (2,640) and Sa Cabaneta[2] (5,748) – where the district council buildings are located.

Economy

The local economy is dominated by agriculture; however, significant employment is provided by traditional pottery manufacture and the large shopping complex at Pont d’Inca.

Marratxí’s population has increased rapidly since the mid-1990s due to the proliferation of new developments around the historical villages, since the municipality has good road—and to a lesser extent rail—links to nearby Palma.

Notable landmarks

Marratxí Church dates to the early 18th century, built during the Cotoner era.[3][4] The Caulles Festival Park lies to the south.

The first civil airfield on Majorca was Aeródromo de Son Bonet, which is located between Pont d’Inca and Pla de Na Tesa.
