Pretty Palma has it all

 

Palma simply put is one of the most beautiful cities boasting a vibrant mix of cosmopolitan character and endless web of grand historical sights. Streets and squares thrive with life both day and night, so you’re in for an all-round beachside treat. You’ll find everything along the gorgeous, glistening waterfront, so explore on foot to take it all in.

With lively squares both day and night, Palma’s got it all. You’ll see street performers and classic cafés underneath arches, so stopping for a latte’s basically essential. For the brightest nights out over the summer, it has to be Pacha. The global clubbing brand has a stylish venue right by the marina.

For a relaxed afternoon, why not head to the beach? You’ll find stretches of sand with the heralded Blue Flag status, plus shallow waters for a quick paddle. Rent parasols and sun beds, and pull up a chair in one of the numerous bars to enjoy a cold one.

History and Culture

La Llonja might look like a cross between a church and a castle, but this 15th-century building on the seafront was actually once the city’s stock exchange. Today it houses a collection of fine art. The Castell de Bellver overlooks the city, this uniquely round castle has been standing for more than 700 years. For many of those years it was used as a prison, but it now contains Palma’s museum of municipal history, and includes pottery from different eras. It also offers wonderful views over Palma Bay. There is plenty more to see with the Arab Baths and Basilica de Sant Francesc.

Eating & Drinking

Palma is a city made for enjoying gastronomic delights whether that is in a trendy tapas bar or exclusive seafood restaurant but can enjoy a wander around the gastronomic food market in San Juan. The stalls are set up in the modernist complex of S’Escorxador, a former slaughterhouse. The market offers a tempting array of food from around the world, from Thai and Japanese to Spanish and Majorcan. There’s also a cocktail bar and wine section.

Palma is the perfect city break destination and really you could come here just to shop! Property in Palma ranges from exclusive villas to waterfront apartments. If you are looking to buy here in Palma then it will definitely be worthy investment.
