Santa Maria del Cami area
Santa Maria is far from a touristic area, it has the best village marquet of the whole island on Sundays and it is very nice for people to go there and buy fresh fruit, vegetables, olives, cheese...
Santa maria is well know for the best wine cellers of Spain and very good typical Mallorquin restaurants.
Hand made pottery and leather is also very popular in the area.
Gastronomy and wines
Mallorcan cuisine is genuinely Mediterranean and is enjoyed in homes throughout the island or in “cellers” - the name given to traditional Mallorcan restaurants, which are often housed in the cellars which were used for wine production in the past. There are many “cellers” in the island´s villages and in Palma de Mallorca, though the most well-known are those in Sineu, Inca and Petra, all at easy reach by train or Car.
There is a long tradition of wine production on Mallorca, which is kept alive and which represents an important activity in rural Mallorca. There are currently two denominations of origin - Binissalem and Pla i Llevant de Mallorca - with a series of bodegas which produce high quality wines, some maintaining old artisan processes.
How to get there
Most of the major European cities offer flights to Mallorca, especially from Germany and the UK.
The main entry point to Palma is the Palma international airport of Son Sant Joan, located just 8 kms from the city centre.
You can also get here by boat. There are daily ferry sailings from the ports of Barcelona, Valencia, Dénia, Ibiza, Ciutadella and Mahon.
Basic History
Palma de Mallorca was founded in the year 123 BC by Quint Cecili Metel. Initially, it was called “Medina Mayurka”, then “Ciutat de Mallorca” and finally “Palma de Mallorca”.
Historians describe Mallorca as being a paradise full of vegetable gardens and fountains.
Mallorca was once ruled by the Moors, who named the city “Medina Mayurka”. There are, however, very few traces of this era left, apart from the layout of the old quarter and the Arab baths.
It was taken over by the Christians in the conquest of 1229. The city then became known as “Ciutat de Mallorca”. This named was kept until 1717, when the Roman name was readopted - “Palma de Mallorca”.
Curiously, even to this day, most Mallorcans refer to their city simply as “Ciutat”.
