Around fifty per cent of Mallorca?s population of 680,000 people lives in the capital of Palma.
Palma de Mallorca is the favored holiday destination for many European tourists with huge numbers of tourists arriving from Germany, Holland, the UK and mainland Spain throughout the year.
The main tourist attraction in the city apart from the beaches, marina, nightlife and weather is the historic Cathedral of La Seo.
Palma de Mallorca also caters extremely well for shoppers with an abundance of boutiques and chain stores lining its streets. The main Spanish stores of Zara, Massimo Duttti and Mango are well represented in this buzzing City as is Spain?s largest department store chain of El Corte Ingles.
Flying to Palma from anywhere in Europe is easy, particularly if you are traveling from the UK where there are as many as 25 airports offering direct schedule or charter flights to Palma. The flying time to Palma is in the region of 2.5 hours.
Palma is said to boast more than 300 days of sunshine throughout the year but in our opinion the best time to visit is during June or September. These months give you clear blue skies, less crowded beaches and cheaper flights and hotels.
Palma de Mallorca is also a good base from which to explore the whole Island. You can reach most of the Island within 75 minutes drive of Palma and the main, International airport is only 7.5 kms away from the City centre.
