Buying a Property in Palma de Mallorca
Palma de Majorca As owners of a Palma property you will soon learn
that the city is sometimes referred to simply as Ciutat (City). Palma
is Majorca’s capital city and offers its many thousands of visitors a
glorious selection of history, culture and cuisine.
Palma property owners agree it’s a foot-friendly city and all the
essential sites are arranged compactly around the north-central
thoroughfare called Passeig des Born.
Your Palma property could be your base for spending a day visiting
the sites and the obvious starting point for a days sight seeing is
Palma’s splendid cathedral – La Seu.
Situated on the water’s edge for all to see work on the Cathedral
began in 1230 and was not finished until 1601, some 371 years later.
Palma’s Castell de Bellver (Bellver Castle) was begun in 1309 and
sits proudly on the hills overlooking the city and the sea beyond.
Framed by thick pinewoods the castle stood as a signal to all-comers
that the island’s rulers were firmly in control. Bellver means good
view and that is what every visitor will enjoy when they stand on the
castle roof surveying Palma and its bay.
Palma property purchasers will enjoy the benefits of the 17 art
galleries mostly in Palma’s old town and from here visitors can
wander down to the port front and marvel at some of the luxurious
yachts moored up in the port. Indeed the port itself has many
restaurants and diners will enjoy some of the best food and drink
anywhere in the Mediterranean.
There are two covered markets in Palma and the smaller one Santa
Catalina is found on the far side of the river just past the gardens
of Plaza La Feixina. The larger market is in the opposite direction
past Plaza Major. For those looking for a real flee market then the
area near Plaza Porta D’es Camp at the bottom end of the avenue is
the place to go on a Saturday morning.
By owning a property in Palma you could benefit from a vast array of
shops ranging from the large high street names to small designer
boutiques.
For thoes that want a break from shopping they could take launch in
La Llotja. La Llotja is the area where many tapas bars and
restaurants can be found and Calle Apuntadores off Plaza Reina has
probably the best selection in the city. Lunch in Palma starts at
around 1300 and finishes when you are full.
