Inca, Spain
Place in Balearic Islands, Spain
Inca (Balearic Catalan: [ˈiŋkə]) is a town on the Spanish island of Mallorca. The population of the municipality is 32,137 (2018) in an area of 58.4 km2.
There is a junction station on Mallorca's rail network with trains to Palma, the island's capital, to Sa Pobla, and to Manacor.
Inca is home of the footwear company "Camper".
Inca was known for its wine cellars. The town, like its neighboring municipality Binissalem, was a mass producer of wine from the 17th to 19th centuries when phylloxera destroyed the industry and its inhabitants turned to other activities such as tanning and leather craftsmanship. Many old wine cellars are being used as restaurants for serving traditional Mallorcan dishes like sopes mallorquines, tombet and gató d'ametlles.
