Estación Marítima

Streets - Outskirts | Palma de Mallorca

It is the largest of the five managed by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands and is located in the middle of the city, just in front of the labyrinthine old town. Connected from one end to the other by the promenade, which was literally stolen from the sea in the sixties, it is divided into four distinct areas: the commercial docks, the Poniente docks, the sports docks and the West dock. It has services that, even though it has faced space limitations, have made possible the consolidation of the port as one of the most important in the whole Mediterranean in relation to cruise traffic. The combination of cargo loading, yachting (the Bay of Palma is the setting for some of the most important regattas in the Mediterranean: the King's Cup and the SAR Princesa Sofía Trophy), passenger arrivals and departures, and fishing, makes it necessary to optimize the use of the facilities and, above all, the space. With the perfect combination of tradition and technological advances, this port is the physical demonstration that the Mediterranean has its own philosophy, slow and calm; but, that it has a character that does not forget modernity and that makes it a place that both visitors and inhabitants appreciate very much.
