Santa Catalina
Santa Catalina is a unique part of Palma that stands out from the rest of the old town. From the moment I first came here, Santa Catalina immediately captivated me. The special atmosphere and the many assets make this district a real gem.
One of the outstanding features of Santa Catalina is its low-rise buildings. Here you will not find towering buildings, but charming houses and apartments that preserve the historic character of the neighborhood. The highlight of Santa Catalina is undoubtedly the Mercat, the market hall. Here you can expect fresh food, local specialties and a lively hustle and bustle. The market is the heart of the neighborhood and attracts locals and visitors alike.
Especially in the evening Santa Catalina blossoms in full splendor. The gastronomic scene is diverse and lively. Restaurants, bars and cafés open their doors and offer a wide selection of culinary delights. From traditional tapas to international fusion cuisine, you'll find everything your heart desires. The streets are lively, and especially on weekends people crowd the alleys and enjoy the vibrant nightlife. Santa Catalina becomes a meeting place for connoisseurs and night owls.
But Santa Catalina is not only a place for exciting nightlife, but also for rest and relaxation. During the day you can discover the quieter sides of the neighborhood. Along the idyllic streets and in the small plazas you will find cozy cafes where you can relax and watch the hustle and bustle. The proximity to the port and the promenade also offers the opportunity to take a walk by the sea and enjoy the maritime atmosphere.
Another advantage of Santa Catalina is its optimal location. The district is located in the immediate vicinity of downtown Palma and is easily accessible by public transport. Whether you want to explore the historic center, take a trip to the beach or visit the surrounding attractions - from Santa Catalina you are well connected.
In summary, Santa Catalina is a unique and lively district of Palma that offers numerous advantages. The charming development, the lively market, the exciting nightlife and the ideal location make this district a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. Immerse yourself in the special atmosphere of Santa Catalina and be enchanted by its diversity and charm.

Es Jonquet
Es Jonquet is a unique neighborhood in Palma de Mallorca, known for its historic charm and picturesque atmosphere. In this text I would like to give you an overview of the pros and cons of this neighborhood to help you decide if Es Jonquet is right for you.
Es Jonquet stands out for its picturesque alleys, traditional buildings and preservation of the original style. The neighborhood has a rich history and many of the old fishermen's houses have been lovingly restored and converted into charming apartments. The charm and authenticity of the neighborhood are a real treat for lovers of historic architecture.
Although Es Jonquet is located near the busy city center of Palma, there is a pleasant calm and serenity. The streets are less busy and you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. It is a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and come to rest.

Gastronomy in Santa Catalina - Es Jonquet
Orígenes: Palma's coffee nirvana
Taking a seat here feels like the room is quietly whispering 'you deserve it'. The flat white? One sip and I wonder how I'll ever let normal coffee pass again. And the food - avocado, scrambled eggs and sourdough bread, so perfect it's almost cheeky - has made me realize: this is officially my new breakfast spot.
