Frequently asked questions
Why is La Calatrava less well-known than other quarters?
It sits away from the main tourist circuits and has almost no through-traffic, which preserves its quiet, local character. Among those who know Palma well it is considered one of the most authentic corners of the old town.
Is La Calatrava walkable?
Very much so. The Passeig del Born, the waterfront and the main old-town amenities are all within a short walk, making a car unnecessary for daily life in the city.
