Monumental Palma<\/h3>\r\nPalma unfolds its charms both during the day and at night. The seafront exudes history through buildings as emblematic as the Almudaina palace and the cathedral, still protected by the city\u2019s medieval walls.\r\n

CIUTAT DE MALLORCA<\/h4>\r\nPalma is a monumental city which has lived facing the sea from the moment it was conceived, and as a result diverse cultures have arrived here and left their mark, above all the Arabs \u2013who called the city Madina Mayurqa (Ciutat de Mallorca)\u2013 and then Christians, who conquered the island in 1229. The historic city centre still retains its medieval layout, and the best way of seeing it is by setting off from the imposing cathedral of Mallorca<\/a>, known as La Seu<\/strong>, the finest vantage point there is overlooking the magnificent Bay of Palma.\r\n\r\nBelow the ancient city wall lie ses Voltes<\/strong>, a former military enclosure which has been turned into a space for exhibitions and performances, and the parc de la Mar<\/strong>, an extremely popular green lung frequented by local people. Next to the church stands the Almudaina Palace<\/a>, once an Arab palace but later Christianised and renovated, delimited on the sea side by the wall that used to protect the city.\r\n\r\nAt its feet the gardens of Hort del Rei<\/strong> stretch out, with water features, benches where one can sit and enjoy the atmosphere and Joan Mir\u00f3. These gardens connect to the central passeig des Born<\/strong>, a boulevard presided over by two stone sphinxes and flanked by trees, and a lively shopping area which leads up to the street of avinguda de Jaume III<\/strong>, where you will find boutiques selling the top brands in clothes and accessories and a department store.\r\n\r\nIn the nearby pla\u00e7a de Weyler stands the Gran Hotel<\/a>,<\/a> one of the most important examples there are of Modernism, now converted into an exhibition space. Beside the Teatre Principal<\/a>\u00a0some steps lead up to the pla\u00e7a Major, a large square with porticoes where shopping streets like Sant Miquel<\/strong>, Sindicat <\/strong>and Col\u00f3n <\/strong>converge. This latter road connects to pla\u00e7a de Cort<\/strong>, the administrative heart of the city, presided over by the city hall and the seat of the Consell de Mallorca<\/strong>, or island council, a good example of the Mallorcan Neo-Gothic style. The surrounding area contains the church of Sant Francesc<\/a> \u2013a Gothic jewel with a cloister where the remains of the erudite Mallorcan Ramon Llull repose\u2013, the Arab Baths<\/a>, the Museum of Mallorca<\/strong>, the Parliament of the Balearic Islands<\/strong> and the Palacio March<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThe best idea is to wander aimlessly through the narrow, shaded streets of this part of town, where you are forced to look upwards to contemplate the austere yet imposing palaces<\/strong> constructed by Mallorca\u2019s ancient nobles and bourgeoisie. One singular feature of these buildings are their patios\u00a0<\/strong>(courtyards<\/a>), interior spaces with Gothic or Renaissance traits, flights of steps and large windows where one can still breathe in a stately atmosphere.\r\n\r\nThe city\u2019s seafront can be explored on foot or by bike down the long passeig Mar\u00edtim<\/strong> promenade which leads to the seafaring districts of es Molinar<\/strong> and es Portitxol<\/strong>. Beside the Real Club N\u00e1utico de Palma yacht club stands La Llotja<\/a>, a Gothic building which has been turned into an exhibition hall, surrounded by a lively district full of bars and restaurants.\r\n\r\nCheck here <\/a>the information related to the opening hours and entrance prices of the main visits of interest.\r\n

THE CITY OF CULINARY DELIGHTS<\/h4>\r\nMarkets, bars, bakeries and restaurants make Palma a city of culinary delights. Traditional, international and avant-garde cuisine is enhanced by the city\u2019s markets, where fresh produce arrives daily from the land and sea of Mallorca.\r\n\r\nTo get to know Palma, you have to visit its markets<\/strong>, the city\u2019s gastronomical culture spaces par excellence. The most emblematic ones are those of l\u2019Olivar<\/a> and Santa Catalina<\/a>. They are also a good place in which to have an aperitif or eat drinking in the local atmosphere.\r\n\r\nPalma is rich in ancient bakeries<\/a>, some of which have a tradition going back more than a hundred years. They still make panades <\/strong>(savoury pies), cocarrois <\/strong>\u2013shaped like pasties and filled with vegetables such as cauliflower and chard, raisins and pine nuts\u2013 and all kinds of savoury cocas, just as they did in the olden days. In the sweets section the ensa\u00efmada <\/a>shines out, along with the apricot coca and crespells, little cookies shaped like hearts or stars.\r\n\r\nThe area around La Llotja<\/strong> is one of the districts with the highest density of restaurants<\/a> and cocktail bars <\/a>in the city. And the district of Santa Catalina<\/strong> \u2013formerly a fishermen\u2019s quarter\u2013 has also become a cosmopolitan place with a proliferation of small establishments serving avantgarde, exotic and international cuisine. Traditional dishes can be sampled above all in cellers<\/a>, old wine cellars where satiating Mallorcan recipes are prepared, like tumbet <\/strong>\u2013a summer dish made of aubergine, potato and red pepper\u2013 or sopes<\/strong>, a wise way of using up dry bread by combining it with seasonal vegetables. One of Mallorca\u2019s simplest and most everyday dishes is pa amb oli<\/strong>, bread smeared with tomato, olive oil and salt, accompanied by local cheeses and cold cuts, bitter olives and a good red wine.\r\n

THE GREAT BAY OF PALMA<\/h4>\r\nThe city lives facing the sea, and residents of Palma frequent its urban beaches<\/a>, which have all kinds of services and are surrounded by a host of restaurants, bars and beach clubs<\/a>. Those furthest from the city centre can be accessed by bus or private vehicle.","cta":"","2_columnas":false,"color_de_fondo":""}]},"yoast_head":"\nPalma - Consell de Mallorca<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fundaciomallorcaturisme.net\/en\/destinations\/palma\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Palma -
