In recent years, the Passeig del Born (Born Promenade) has become the most visited & important street for shopping on the island. Shops such as Rialto Living, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, Carolina Herrera, Clockmaker Germany, Mulberry & Twin-Set have made this luxury promenade a real 'designer street'. The Born is also known as the ‘golden mile’ of Palma
Fashion, fashion, fashion !! If you are in Jaume III, normally it’s for one good reason: shopping. It used to be the most important street in Palma until the Born became the new favourite of the major design brands. However, you can still find shops such as: Cartier, Lottusse & the famous men and women's casual clothing store, Farinelli, among others. There is also 'El Corte Inglés', but it’s a much smaller one than the shop in the Avenidas, where you will find a wider variety of products.
Palma’s bullring, popularly known as Colisseu Balear n the local language. The Colisseu Balear forms part of the historical heritage of the city of Palma.
The idea of building a bullring in the Balearic capital to replace the old one arose in 1915, but work didn’t begin until 1928. The square was the design of Gaspar Bennazar, a famous Majorcan architect at that time.
Nowadays it is used for macro concerts & other major cultural events, especially in summer.
On the Passeig Marítim you will find a variety of places to go dancing. The legendary Tito’s no longer attracts Hollywood stars as it did in its heyday, but you can still walk on its red carpet or hop on its glass lift to take you to its main dance floor. It still celebrates theme nights where the entertainment it offers will never cease to amaze you.
Nearby we find the ‘Timba’ bar, located on the Ca Bárbara marina, with fantastic DJs and a great atmosphere. Although small, there’s always room to dance!
