The City

Palma de Mallorca, known amongst Mallorcans as 'Ciutat', is the capital of the largest Balearic island, Mallorca (or Majorca). It is important not to confuse the name of the capital with that of the island, as this is something that does not go down too well with the inhabitants of the isle's other towns.

Mallorca's wonderful climate, beautiful landscapes as well as its cosmopolitan ambience make it a privileged holiday resort, with a cultural richness comparable to that of many European capitals. The Auditiorio de Palma, for instance, ranks among Europe's top concert halls. In Mallorca, you will find relaxation, inspiration, culture and entertainment.

Most people know that Mallorca is the most popular tourist destination in Europe. It is also arguably the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean, largely because of the stunning variety of its scenery, the warm hospitality of the islanders and the richness of its food and drink. There are two main resorts for people who are looking for only sun, sand and nightclubs, and then there is the rest of the island-so carefully protected against over-development by the proud Mallorcans that stars like Michael Douglas and Claudia Schiffer choose to holiday here.

Visitors today can benefit from the same inspiring beauty and tranquillity that so impressed the composer Chopin, the poet Robert Graves and others before and after them.

A drive from one side of the island to the other can take less than two hours, but in that time the visitor can stop to gaze out towards Africa from awe inspiring rugged cliff tops, cross the spectacular Tramuntana mountain range, or leave the car to hike to pristine sandy beaches only accessible by foot.

The Paseo Maritimo mixes enthusiasts of the sea with tourists who stay at any of the area hotels and enjoys one of the best views in the city. Around here there are plenty of cafes, rental agencies, restaurants and entertainment stops, in particular Palma's most important nightclubs: Tito's, and Pachá.
