Location, location, location - say no more. Absolutely perfect. We felt privileged to be sharing Imma and Bernardos’ beautiful home. They couldn’t have been more helpful particularly working around our early arrival and late departure! The room is self sufficient, and although very small suited our needs perfectly. The mezzanine bed was comfy, the shower great and fridge a welcome addition, especially filled with liquid refreshment for us! We’ve visited Palma several times before and I think it’s probably our favourite European city. Bernado was extremely helpful and it was great to hear about the collection of bars in the Sa Gerrerria district (east of Plaça Cort and Plaça major) known as La Ruta Martiana offering small tapas or pintxo and small beer for 2-3 Euros every Tuesday. The idea is to go from bar to bar sampling a range. Don’t rush into ordering, new tapas are being made constantly! We started at Plaza Quartera, samoling several tortilla at Tortilleria. We also liked the Lemon Tree, Carrer Del pes de la Ferina.
For an authentic Mallorcan breakfast, opened in 1700, Ca’n Joan de s’aigo, Carrer Can Sanç, 10. Well worth a look, we went several mornings! Cheap. I was initially disappointed there was no outdoor sitting area but in the heat of the spring/summer it was so cool, the experience is well worth it. Best Ensaimada Crema! Otherwise try the Pattisseria, Ca Na Cati, Plaça de Cort for a breakfast stop, around the corner from the apartment.
Another MUST is to walk or cycle along the ramparts in front of the cathedral and then along the promenade to Portixol - where there are numerous bars/restaurants to relax at and enjoy the views.
Loved our stay here. THANKYOU.
