A district that’s full of history
We walk around the historic walls of Palma de Mallorca, we stop at a main fortification point in the city: Es Baluard. If we move our head towards the exterior of the wall, we see an old fishing district which has led housing and property construction outside of the walls of Palma. It was the first district to be built outside of what was classed as the city. And since then has grown exponentially. During the 19th and 20th century, it was one of the sparks in the industry in Mallorca and began its career by leaving behind its name of being a humble district named “fora vila” to opening itself up to a more cosmopolitan world.
Properties in Santa Catalina: an unbeatable location
Currently, Santa Catalina is the trendiest district. The layout of bars and restaurants which have been opened by a variety of people and of different nationalities make this district in Palma an everyday multicultural experience. The close proximity of the port and its privileged location position this district between the calm ocean of the bay of Palma, the city centre and the panoramic emblems of the city such as the Cathedral of Mallorca or the Bellver Castle. Its facades hide popular modern art: the high minaret of the Hostal Cuba; the walls of the Ferretería La Central and Can Palmer; Can Pujol or the house located on the corner of the streets of Caro and Pou ratify it.
The Santa Catalina market and the magic of its surroundings
With Grupo Roma, your real estate agency in Palma, you will have the opportunity to purchase a property in Santa Catalina and have as your neighbour the district that has preserved the oldest food market in Palma, predating to Olivar and to Pere Garau. The surrounding area is full of art galleries, designer stores, vintage clothing and artisanal products in which you can get lost in. When the weekend arrives, the market becomes the main place to “tardeo”, a ritual in which neighbours and the inhabitants of Palma that end their working week enjoy a few drinks, creating a dynamic atmosphere from midday until the early hours of the morning. This phenomenon is based around the ample gastronomic and cultural offering which characterises this district, and especially in the outskirts of the calle Fábrica and the area of Avenida Argentina and Sa Feixina.
Tradition and modernism. Idiosyncrasy and culture open to the world. That’s Santa Catalina, the trendiest district in Palma.
