Location & surrounding area:
The district of Santa Catalina is one of the typical zones of "Ciudad de Palma", home to the famous "Mercat de Santa Catalina", which still retains the flavor of traditional markets where you can buy typical products of the Majorcan countryside and Mediterranean Sea.
Originally a fishing district because of its proximity to the sea, the typical dwellings of 1 or 2 floors have been conserved with their balconies and façades with Majorcan shutters and urban morphology that is carefully preserved.
Among the inhabitants of Santa Catalina you can find people from all around the world in bars out in the sun, shopping in the market or buying in the street, as well as people who have chosen to live in the town, bringing their culture and giving the neighborhood a touch of class and elegance.
With regard to the gastronomic and leisure offer, the town is one the most generous of the island, and in the happy streets you will find the greatest variety of bars and restaurants from the simple and typical of the neighborhood to cutting edge and sophisticated.
