Palma Majorca

The city of Palma on the south coast is the capital of Majorca and its commercial and cultural centre. Home to 600,000 residents Palma has also has a huge amount to offer to holiday visitors, the bustling streets, wide range of shops and excellent and varied night life make the city well worth a day visit during your holiday even if you are not staying there.

The origins of the city of Palma can be traced back to before Roman times, but is mainly dominated by relatively new development from the 19th Century onwards, but despite this still retains its old charm and character. Palma is situated on a long sweeping bay but actually has no beach of its own, the nearest being around 3 to 4 miles away at the resorts of C'an Pastilla and Cala Mayor.

Evening entertainment in Palma is lively without being too over the top, there is a good selection of restaurants, busy bars and a few clubs. The Old Town near the Cathedral is a maze of narrow streets, alleyways, spectacular squares and old buildings.

During the day Palma has plenty to offer the holiday visitor; some of the main tourist attractions are near to the city's port area and include the Cathedral, the imposing 14th Century Castle of Bellver, the Royal Palace and Palma's Stock Exchange.
