Palma...

... the main town of Majorca is situated on a long sheltered bay. Narrow streets, the Paseo Maritimo, patios, churches and museums invite you to walks and sightseeing. In the big warehouse "El Corte Inglés" and on the shopping street "Jaime III" you will find all kinds of fashion designers, fashion stores and funky shops. Top class restaurants with kitchens of the world, pubs, cafés and tapa-bars take care of you. Exhibitions and galeries show the works of national and international artists. On street festivities, markets and in the fisherman?s harbour you get to know the native products, such as wine, cheese, air-dried ham and olive oil. Strolling along the Paseo Maritimo gives you a lovely view over the harbour and a possibility to stop in one of the café-bars on the sea side. In spring is the international boat exhibition. Tennis tournaments with world famous stars, football matches with the club of Majorca, sailing competitions with the participation of Spain?s King himself are some of the sport events in Palma. Palma?s night life is found in discotheques and bars, which partly play live music. Famous stars give concerts and theatre is performed in several languages. There are public tennis courts, a 30 km long walking and cycling path along the sea and a long sandy beach.
