Beaches in Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands) Spain - advise, map and photos

Palma de Mallorca is the capital of the island of Majorca (Balearic archipelago). Its coastal region along 20 kilometres stretches of Case Catala (west) in Arenal (East). The old city of Palma de Mallorca is wonderfully kept with nice manorial houses and many ancient monuments. The cathedral of Gothic style is the most imposing building.

Several beaches in Palma de Mallorca are found. The Playa de Palma is the main. Located in a dozen kilometres of the historical centre, it stretches over several kilometres in a zone completely devoted itself to seaside tourism. The contrast is impressive between a hurdy-gurdy city charged with history and this seaside without soul and only intended to welcome the tourists (mainly from the north of Europe). The West zone «is more preserved» thanks to more abrupt coastal region.
