Es Jonquet

Streets - Outskirts | Palma de Mallorca

Es Jonquet is an old fishermen's neighborhood composed of old low houses, narrow but lively streets where you can still breathe the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of the neighborhoods of yesteryear. The walk through the neighborhood will take us back to another era, between humble houses of Mediterranean style colors, narrow cobbled streets and crowning the whole architectural ensemble the large mills dominating the city. These mills date back to the 14th and 15th centuries, although over the centuries they have been on the verge of disappearing on several occasions to build housing developments. Today we can still see 5 mills standing, 3 of which are in a rather deteriorated state, but there were once seven flour windmills, located on a natural slope and facing the sea.
