Cala Major
Cala Major is a small bay and residential district located southwest of Palma's city center. Travelers visit this area for its beach and the pedestrian promenade that runs along the waterfront, providing a space for walking and swimming away from the main urban core.
Getting There
The area is accessible from the center of Palma via local bus lines or taxi. The journey typically takes between 15 and 25 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point in the city.
Duration of Visit
Depending on whether you intend to swim or simply walk the promenade, allow 2 to 4 hours. The area is primarily a leisure spot rather than a site with a fixed itinerary.
When to Visit
The beach is most active during the summer months and can become crowded during peak holiday periods. For a quieter experience, visit during the shoulder seasons or on weekday mornings. The promenade is suitable for walking at any time of day.
