Palma is a great city in which tradition and the modern life combine. An example of this is the Paseo Maritimo (seafront),a route you can stroll along whilst enjoying a sea breeze and a spectacular view of the Cathedral.

The walk can begin at the foot of the Cathedral, in what used to be the sea but is now a park: el parc de la Mar. Many cultural events take place here during the summer, near the salt-water lake, the childrens play areas, sculptures and bars.

Starting the walk, we step on to the Paseo Maritimo, a broad avenue of six lanes that run alongside the sea. Here you find big hotels and nightclubs. There are 700 palm trees planted along here,some in the central pavement and others grouped in small garden areas. This route can also be done by horse and cart.

There are windmills turned into discos, that provide a picturesque air to the walk. You also pass by the Club Nautico, one of the most important of the Mediterranean area and known the world over for being the headquarters of the Copa del Rey de Vela regatta.

Souvenir shops and elegant cafes complete this walk until you arrive at the harbour at Porto Pi. This is used both for military and commercial traffic and is where the king usually moors his yacht when he summers on the island. The traffic is very heavy and at night it can be very difficult to find a parking space.
