Palma de Mallorca is the capital city of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. It has a population of just under 380,000 and is a popular location for buyers of Spanish property, especially those who want to experience all that Mallorca has to offer but require the convenience of being located in or close to a small city environment.
Palma de Mallorca occupies a prime location on the south coast of Mallorca. It overlooks a wide bay along which run some of the best beaches on the island. The beaches of Cala Mayor and Can Pastilla are generally the most in-demand, while the beaches of Es Molinar, Ciutat Jardi , Can Pere Antoni , EL Arenal are often a little quieter.
The city offers everything that a new resident or vacationer needs. Shops, markets, restaurants and entertainment exist in abundance. Palma de Mallorca has a vibrant nightlife too, with all tastes catered for. The biggest attraction in the city is undoubtedly its cathedral. Lit up during the evenings, the Catedral de Palma de Mallorca is a huge gothic structure that dominates the skyline for miles around. People approaching the island cannot help but be impressed by this amazing building.
Palma de Mallorca property is very varied. Luxury villas and penthouses to townhouses and fincas in need of modernisation are all available in and around the city. There are also plots of land on which a new villa in Spain could be built - although these are more likely to be found on the outskirts of the city. Spanish property prices on the island are high, especially when compared to neighbouring Menorca. However, buying Palma de Mallorca property should be seen as a good investment, as prices are still set to rise over the forthcoming years.
