Palma- Old Town: La Ciutat as the Majorcans call it has breathtaking appearance coming closer to the port. Adorned with yachts, palms and the Cathedral in the backdrop providing a magical vision and it is even more stunning in the early hours of the mornings. With the view of the range you will see the lovely succession of spattered roofs, of sights where history and modernity unite with the green and the Mediterranean in perfect harmony. Even though the first impression of the city may seem very small the possibilities that Palma offers make it seem as if it were a city ten times bigger. There are many points of interest to visit, here are some that you should not miss out on:
1) The Cathedral (built between XIV and XIX)
2 La Almudaina (Royal Palace)
3 La Lonja (Beautiful Art Museum)
4) Consulado del Mar (Balear Government
5) Paseo del Borne (Neurological and Heart Centre of the old town, lodges palaces. XVII, and XVIII centuries)
6) Plaza de Cort (city hall XCII century)
7) Arab Baths
Majorcan Gastronomy, Tapas and Wines: There are restaurants in Palma de Mallorca of excellent category and of the most varied kitchens in the world. Native gastronomy with recipes such as the 'tumbet' 'frit', ´el 'pa amb oli' and ample offers of local and international. If you like the Tapas do not miss out on the 'Ruta Martiana' in the old town of Palma a gastronomic event to sample tapas, beers and 'Majorcan wines' in a very animated environment during the week. La Ruta consists of 12 bars and restaurants from the old town: Moltabarra, La Gran Taberna, La Ruta del Té, Bar Boya, La Bravo, Noodle Bar, D’en Coll, Manhattan, Café Riparo, St. Ambrós, es Forn de Sa Llotgeta y L’Ambigú. The price of the tapa and wine or beer is very cheap every Tuesday starting at 19:30 in the old town of Palma. Mallorca predominates the Majorcan offer, but you will also find Mediterranean gastronomy, international, Italian, Basque and Galician. Sample a delicious traditional ice cream or a chocolate with ensaimadas.
Shopping and craftwork: The same diversity that Illes Balears presents at the cultural level the craftwork also expresses. You can purchase glass craftwork (Gordiola), ceramic (pots, reixoneres, plats morenos, bottles of wine), embroidery, fabrics, Shoe stores, Leather, silver articles, costume jewellery, jewellery shop, pearls (Majorca) and also the latest fashions and everything that all of the artists from all over the world have introduced into the tradition of Illes Balears.
Through the craftwork routes we invite you to discover the related trades to this land that forms part of its history and culture (more information in city hall offices-close to the apartment).

Great Place
We very much enjoyed our 8 nights at La Calatrava located on the edge of "Old Town", it was a clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The owners were great to deal with, very accommodating and helpful from the start! Its a short walk to the Cathedral (A must See) and center of the Old Town with plenty to see along the way. It is a great location with the beach and bus stops near by, including the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus. We would definitely stay again at La Calatrava.

Wonderful Apartment!
This is a wonderful apartment! It's nicely decorated, feels very spacious, and is extremely well-stocked. Some vacation rentals you're lucky if you get 1 roll of TP and a bar of soap. Angela and Santi have provided all the supplies you will need. Another bonus is an electric tumble dryer in addition to the washing machine. That's so unusual in European rentals. All appliances worked well and the bathroom had a great shower. The bed is extremely comfortable, and there's plenty of storage cupboards so you don't feel like you're living out of a suitcase. Another bonus is a smartTV so you can stream using your own Netflix or other streaming platforms. Fast dependable internet as well. The neighborhood is safe and easy walking distance to the center of town or to the water. Angela and Santi checked in with us periodically via WhatsApp and we always felt they were available even though we didn't need anything because everything worked really well. We would rent this apartment again in a heartbeat; it's that wonderful!
