Welcome to Palma
About the City
The
island of Mallorca, the largest of the
Balearics, is only 75 kilometers from north to south and 100 kilometers
from east to west, yet its typically Mediterranean landscape varies
from the fertile central lowlands where fig,
almond and orange
trees flourish, to the precipitous cliffs of the northwestern coast.
The city of Palma on the beautiful Bay of Palma is a well-sheltered
natural haven. Mallorca has had international appeal since the last
century and is no stranger to romantic trysts; it was here that Chopin
and George Sand chose to live and enjoy
the island's idyllic setting and excellent weather.
This
elegant island has to offer anything a visitor might dream of. Tourism
at Mallorca started to develop already in the 1920s, and until the
Spanish Civil War it were mainly intellectuals and artists who were
attracted by this island.
Mallorca's
wonderful climate, beautiful landscapes as well as its cosmopolitan
ambience make it a privileged holiday resort, with a cultural offer
comparable to the one of many European capitals. The Auditiorio
de Palma, for instance, ranks among Europe's top concert halls.
At Mallorca, you will find relaxation, inspiration, culture and entertainment...
