Palma travel guide — where to stay, what to do, and where to eat in Palma, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain.
Palma's cooking is Mallorcan with Catalan and Mediterranean roots: ensaïmada pastry, sobrassada cured sausage, rice dishes and fish from the Sa Llotja des Peix quay. The old town covers traditional cellers and tasting-menu restaurants, Santa Catalina holds newer Thai, Asian-fusion and creative kitchens, and the harbour fronts focus on seafood and rice.
