Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Palma.
City Overview
Palma is the capital of the Balearic Islands and the gateway to Mallorca — a Mediterranean resort, yachting and lifestyle city, with the Gothic La Seu cathedral overlooking the bay. Tourism, shipping, real estate and a rising remote-work crowd converge here, with a large international community (especially German and British). Warm, with both beaches and an old town, costs are mid-range and seasonal — the tourism, yachting and livability center of Spain’s Mediterranean islands.
