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...
