The Old Town of Palma, the heart of the monumental center, is a unique mixture of authentic charming of the Renaissance with the pulse of the city. This particular place, besides the famous Fish Market (La Llonja), the Cathedral, Almudaina Palast and the Harbour, provides a taste of traditional atmosphere with the dynamism of the city. Very easy to access and fantastically well communicated with all the island.

The building itself is equiped with a brand new elevator, for those that would rather not run up and down stairs during their holidays, providing something of a luxury in the centre of Palma where most of the building's stairwells that are too narrow to allow for the installation of a lift.

The apartment has been furnished with style and to provide full functionality. The bathroom is sleek and fully equipped, much like the two double bedrooms.

It is an open plan and modern apartment with a top-of-the-line kitchen and a living room equipped with a flat-screen TV, DVD and ethernet internet access.

Having internet access makes it possible for guests to stay in contact with family in an easy way while being away and also makes this apartment ideal for those that have to take their business with them on holiday or are actually visiting Palma for business reasons.

Guest number five sleeps in a lounge atelier.

Saving the best for last, the amazing terrace with sofas and pillows and stunning views of Palma makes this apartament one-of-a-kind!

Soller Vintage Railway - No trip to Palma would be complete without a trip on the Vintage train to Soller. The journey by electric train from Palma to Soller is more than just a ride through the Tramuntana mountains – it’s a trip back in time. Gliding gently through olive groves on leather-bound seats, in wooden panelled carriages with brass fittings and old fashioned luggage racks, you could be forgiven for thinking you were part of an Agatha Christie thriller. Although these days it seems “grand”, the Soller to Palma railway was built for a much more down-to-earth purpose – to transport Soller’s famous oranges to the port at Palma and then to the rest of the world. A truly memorable experince you will remember long after your holiday has ended.

FESTIVALS:
Festival Isladencanta – Annual music festival covering genres including rock, pop, and features Europe’s best DJ’s during the month of July.
Festival de Pollenca – Classical annual festival featuring ensemble of renowned international artists and orchestras, occurring during the month of August.

BEACHES:
With almost 80 beautiful beaches, the sunny island of Mallorca has many excellent beach facilities, with fine, golden sand. Some of the best beaches in Mallorca can be found to the north and north-east of the island and also around the Badia de Palma. Many of the larger beaches include restaurants, beachside bars and a variety of watersports. There are also many other more private, secluded beaches and coves in Mallorca, although these can prove more difficult to reach. During the summer, most beaches in Mallorca have lifeguards. Many beaches have swimming areas marked by buoys, although this does not mean that swimming outside these areas is prohibited. There are usually notice boards at the entrances to the beaches in Mallorca, listing the facilities available, such as showers and wheelchair access. Smaller beaches in Mallorca do not have lifeguards, but swimming is usually safe and the beaches are generally sited in small coves with calm waters.

SHOPING:
Shops are open normally from 10 am until 13:30, then time for a "siesta" and open another time from 17:00 until 20:00. Opening days are from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays al shops are closed.

The main shopping areas in Palma are Avinguda Jaume III and the Passeig des Born for up-market boutiques and the pedestrian streets around Placa Major for small specialist shops. There is also a modern shopping mall and hypermarket complex, the Centro Comercial Porto Pi, 2km from the centre. For the shopper, the relatively small size of Palma is of great advantage. Avinguda Jaume III, as well as being the best-known street in the city, is also the newest. Although it is hard to believe. only 30 years ago the street didn’t exist. Today it is one of Palma’s most elegant avenues, lined with sophisticated shops offering men’s and women’s fashions as well as jewellery and gifts. Galerias Preciados, one of Spain’s most popular department store chains, is also present. For a thorough shopping spree you shouldn’t forget the side streets of Bonaire, Sta. Maria del Sepulcro, Sant Marty etc.

BARS & RESTAURANTS:
Bars are usually open during all day. Night clubs do it from 23:00 to 04:00 am and discos till 06:00. Most of the restaurants open from 13:00 until 16:30 and by 20:00 until 01:00, but note that most of the people usually eat late, like at 14:00 for lunch and at 22:00 for dinner.

TRADITINAL DISHES:
The most known are the "sobrasada", not a sausage but look like, which made of pork, species and paprika, and the "ensaimada", a pastry made with lard and with a large amount of fine sugar. The most typical dishes are the "frito mallorquin" (fried pig liver with red pepper, fried potatoes and other vegetables, the "arros brut" (which means dirty rice, a rice soup with pork, rabbit, onion, mushrooms and sometimes slightly spice) or the "suckling pig", which is delicious and available nearly in every mallorcan restaurant during Christmas. Please despite those who say that this last one a typical Christmas dish. Although it is typical on Christmas, I really would like to mention that this is just only for one main reason: Mallorca has been a place of poor people until the tourist revolution and they had no money at all, so dishes like this one (or the lamb), where only for special occasions.
