Palma de Mallorca, known amongst Mallorcans as 'Ciutat', is the capital of the largest Balearic island, Mallorca (or Majorca). It is important not to confuse the name of the capital with that of the island, as this is something that does not go down too well with the inhabitants of the isle's other towns.

The Paseo Maritimo mixes enthusiasts of the sea with tourists who stay at any of the area hotels and enjoys one of the best views in the city. Around here there are plenty of cafes, rental agencies, restaurants and entertainment stops, in particular Palma's most important nightclubs: Tito's, and Pachá. The Paseo Maritimo is completed by the Auditorium and also a special lane for cycling, skating and running which gets quite busy during evenings and weekends.
