Situated on the eastern outskirts of Palma in a charismatic little fishing village, the sandy beach is only about half a kilometer away from Can Pere Antoni – the city center’s beach. It is not the biggest one, but offers a nice promenade filled with charming little cafes and restaurants, and is away from the main road.
Cala Mayor is known for the Palace Marivent, the Spanish royal family’s summer residence. You can find it on the west end of Palma. The crystal clear water along with a lot of tourist facilities in the area is very attractive for Palma’s tourism. The sun loungers and parasols are available for hire, and the public toilets and showers are at your disposal, as well as ramps for the disabled and lifeguard service.
This is the city beach that is extending from the Cathedral to the harbor of Portixol. It’s a popular spot for cycling, skating and running or walking since the promenade and cycle paths runs along the side of the beach.
The toilets, showers and lifeguard services are at your disposal. If you’d like to enjoy a comfort of sunbeds and refreshing beverage, the beach clubs Anima Beach and Nassau Beach are an excellent choice.
Passing the “Raixa”, the museum is sited right at the entrance to the tunnel that connects Palma to Sóller. The access consists of a wide avenue, or Roman “paseo de salon”, with three lanes of large plane trees, that reaches the “Clastra” ( the typical “patio” of Majorcan country houses of a certain importance, called “possesions” ).
Historic references indicate that this was once the home of the Arabic Viceroy of the island. The structure of the house has Roman-Andalusian roots. We find features and elements of different styles: Arabic, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Roman, Rococo and even English in the decoration of the rooms. The gardens are certainly a fine example of Moorish garden design, where the emphasis is on water and irrigation.

“Teatro Principal de Palma” opened its doors on August 27th in 1667 carrying the name of “Casa de las Comedias” (House of Comedies). It was a huge project at the time offering capacity for 800 people. It started turmoil in the circles of theologians who were gathering to decide if the comedy performances was acceptable. After a fire destruction in 1858 the theatre was restored according to its original design.
Since then various renovations took place and after the final one, in 2007, the modern theatre keeping its historic character was inaugurated.

The museum of modern and contemporary art is located within the bastion Sant Pere from 16th century, one of the most important landmarks of the city of Palma being part of the Renaissance wall that surrounded the city until the beginning of the 20th Century. In 1952, after more than three hundred years of service, the bastion relinquished it military function. Later, it passed into private hands. In 1963 the new owners demolished a large part of the western curtain wall of the bastion. After this incident the land passed to public use and at the end of 1980s. In 1997, Palma City Council built the museum.
