Passeig des Born

Besichtigung

Paseo del Borne, or “Passeig des Born” in Catalan, is arguably the most elegant avenue in Palma. Not surprisingly, many luxury designers such as Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Carolina Herrera and Mulberry have installed themselves here, and the area has been nicknamed the Golden Mile.\n \n You may have heard the word “born” before, in other towns in Spain. It signifies an area for games, such as jousting tournaments between knights in the middle ages. The avenue was actually once a kind of estuary until the great flood of 1403 turned the adjoining streets into terrible sewers. Much later, during the construction of the fifth walled enclosure of the town, the so-called Torrent de Sa Riera waterway was moved. Today, you can view the canal beside Es Baluard Contemporary Art Museum. \n \n The reconstruction left Borne free as public space and for celebrations, which it is still used for today.\n The avenue has undergone many alterations since the time of medieval knights. A restructuring took place in 1833, which is when the Jacinto Mateu Sureda’s Sphinxes were added, and the Turtle Fountain installed. In 1863 an effigy of Isabel II was inaugurated, but was pulled down five years later during the revolution. Though Franco did rename the avenue after himself, the dictator’s name didn’t really stick, and people continued to refer to it as Born.\n \n The well-kept promenade is an attraction in itself and worth strolling down at leisure, admiring the architecture on each side. The striking building in which Zara is housed, was once Borne’s famous cinema. On the same side of the road, you’ll come across Casal Solleric. It’s an 18th century converted mansion which now hosts temporary art exhibitions; there’s also a Tourist Office here if you’re after more information about what to do and see in Palma.

Calo Des Moro

Strand

Calo des Moro is located 6 kilometres from Santanyi in the southeast corner of Mallorca. The beach can be a bit difficult to find. The residents put up signs saying that the road is private, but it is possible to drive all the way to the beach. Take your drinks and food with you when you go here because you won't find any places to eat around.\n \n Calo des Moro is an incredibly beautiful beach situated deep inside a bay with sheer cliffs. It is a small beach, but the 40 metres of beach is covered with fine-grained and bright sand. The water is crystal clear with the most beautiful turquoise shades. Perfect for a swim between the high cliffs.

Magaluf Beach

Strand

Magaluf is located in the southwest corner of Mallorca, seven kilometres from Calvià. Magaluf has many British visitors, but also many (young) tourists from Scandinavia. \n \n Magaluf has a lovely 900 m long beach with the official name Platja de Magaluf. The beach has fine-grained sand and clear water.During the summer, there are many young people at the beach in Magaluf, and naturally, this influences the beach life.\n \n The beach has all facilities, including sun lounges, sunshades, toilet, showers and lifeguards. Behind the beach, there is a lovely new sea front, and here the young people gather in the afternoon.\n \n The beach itself is child-friendly, but Magaluf is not a good holiday resort for families with children. It is basically a party town for young people – and this also affects the beach.\n \n On the water, anything is possible in Magaluf and there are plenty of activities going on! If you prefer water skis, jet skis, banana boat or parasailing, Magaluf is just the place.
