The hidden history of humanity.Impostors/Jews(Rev. 2:9)deceived the world and DNA confirmed it

How did identical towers appear across Philadelphia, Paris, Prague, and Kazan within the same fifty-year window—with the same proportions, the same ornamental details, the same deliberate astronomical orientations—yet official history dismisses them as coincidental municipal waterworks? From contemporary survey records marked "purpose unknown" to the systematic vanishing of these structures from city maps, from the suspicious uniformity of their design across continents to the missing construction records of elaborately built towers, the evidence reveals patterns on a scale that official history cannot explain. As I examined photographic archives, Sanborn fire insurance maps, and demolition records, a disturbing pattern emerged: the towers appeared too suddenly and too consistently, the architectural inheritance was too uniform across unconnected cities, and their disappearance was too compressed and coordinated to be coincidence. This wasn't gradual architectural obsolescence or normal urban development—it was deliberate removal implemented across nations within decades, all targeting the same class of structure, all following identical patterns, all accompanied by a silence that has since been systematically maintained. Some of these towers may not have been built by the cities that claimed them at all—possibly inherited from a prior civilization, perhaps Tartaria, already standing when modern cities grew up around them, quietly given new official purposes to avoid a much more difficult conversation. This investigation explores the mystery of these vanished towers—the architectural evidence that suggests inherited builders, the astronomical alignments that point to forgotten knowledge, the coordination problem that spans continents, and the questions that official narratives refuse to address. The deeper we examine the timing, the global scope, and the deliberate amnesia surrounding these erasures, the more difficult it becomes to accept the explanation of architectural fashion and routine demolition rather than calculated obscuration.

The official story claims that in 24 months (1891-1893), on Chicago swampland, using horse-drawn equipment and hand tools, workers built over 200 neoclassical buildings covering 600 acres for the World's Columbian Exposition. The Manufactures Building alone covered 44 acres under one roof—larger than any structure in the world. This supposedly temporary "White City" featured elaborate classical architecture, detailed sculptural work, advanced infrastructure, and precision engineering that rivaled ancient Rome. Then, after 27 million visitors, they demolished everything—using dynamite. Not manual dismantling. Dynamite. For structures supposedly made of plaster (staff) over wooden frames. Sources: Official Columbian Exposition records (construction timeline, workforce data), demolition documentation (methods, duration, costs), Museum of Science and Industry architectural surveys, comparative world's fair timelines (Paris 1889, Buffalo 1901, St. Louis 1904), modern construction timeline comparisons, staff material properties analysis, Jackson Park terrain studies.

What explains how America — and nearly every industrializing nation on earth — abandoned locally issued, asset-backed currency within the same thirty-year window, replacing it with debt-backed money controlled by centralized banking institutions, without a single serious public reckoning about what that exchange actually cost ordinary people? The standard explanation — that the National Banking Acts of 1863 and 1864 and the Coinage Act of 1873 simply modernized a chaotic system — collapses when you examine what that infrastructure actually replaced: not a fraudulent or primitive monetary arrangement, but a distributed system in which a farmer's land, a merchant's stored grain, a community's productive wealth could function as the foundation of money itself. Currency that bore the name of the place that issued it. Money that existed because something real existed first. As I investigated the legislative record — the 10% tax that quietly killed state bank notes, the Coinage Act so dense that congressmen later admitted they hadn't understood what they'd voted for, the simultaneous centralization in Britain, Germany, Canada, Japan, Australia, and France across the same decades — a disturbing pattern materialized. These weren't parallel coincidences across unconnected sovereign nations. They were the same solution, applied to the same problem, with the same result: monetary power removed from communities and consolidated in institutions whose credit you now needed before you could participate in the economy at all. Because here's what the replacement also did. It didn't just reorganize banking. It restructured the relationship between human productivity and money itself. Under the old system, money followed value. Under the new one, value had to be approved before money was issued — approved by an institution, on its terms, at its interest rate, repayable on its schedule. Not banned outright. Not seized by force. Just taxed into obsolescence. Legislated into irrelevance. And the communities that remembered another relationship with money — one grounded in what they built, grew, and stored — slowly forgot that any other arrangement had ever existed. This investigation examines whether the monetary system we inherited was designed to serve the productive capacity of ordinary people — or to replace it with permanent, structural dependency.

Two of history's greatest mysteries have long been studied in isolation — but what if the Anunnaki of ancient Sumerian texts and the legendary civilization of Atlantis were never separate stories at all? Hidden within the oldest clay tablets ever discovered lie descriptions of advanced beings, lost knowledge, and a civilization of extraordinary power that vanished beneath the waves — details that align with the Atlantis accounts in ways that are difficult to dismiss as mere coincidence. The Sumerian records speak of a time before the great flood when knowledge, technology, and divine guidance flourished on Earth under the direct influence of the Anunnaki. Plato's Atlantis tells a remarkably similar tale — a sophisticated civilization, beloved and guided by godlike beings, ultimately destroyed for growing too powerful and too proud. When these two ancient accounts are placed side by side, the parallels paint a picture of a shared history that mainstream scholarship has yet to fully reckon with. Tonight, we explore the hidden connection between these two towering mysteries of the ancient world — and what their overlap might tell us about a chapter of human history that has been all but erased. Settle in as the oldest stories ever told carry you quietly into the night.

What if genesis wasn't the original creation story? An Assyriologist who reads the ancient languages reveals the Mesopotamian creation myths that existed thousands of years before genesis was written—and shows exactly how the biblical authors reworked them. The creation myths older than genesis change everything you thought you knew about the Bible's opening chapters. In this deep-dive interview, Megan Lewis—Assyriologist, founder of Digital Hammurabi, and host of the Misquoting Jesus podcast with Dr. Bart Ehrman—walks us through four ancient Mesopotamian texts that directly shaped the book of Genesis. From the Enuma Elish and its divine power struggles to the Atrahasis with its startling account of humanity's origins, Megan reveals how the Genesis authors didn't invent their creation story from scratch. They inherited a rich literary tradition and deliberately reworked it to serve their own theological vision. Along the way, you'll discover why ancient gods needed to eat, how flood narratives traveled between cultures, and what scholars consider the smoking-gun evidence that genesis writers knew these older texts. This isn't a copy-paste story—it's far more fascinating than that.

Before the first human hand ever shaped a clay pot, before the first king ever pressed a seal into wet earth, the ancient tablets of Babylon preserved an answer to the question every civilization has eventually asked — where did we come from? And buried within the Enūma Eliš, the Babylonian epic of creation pressed into seven clay tablets thousands of years ago, is an answer so specific, so unsettling, and so unlike anything that came after it, that modern readers often pass over it without fully absorbing what it claims. It does not say humans were formed from dust and breath. It says we were formed from blood — the blood of a single god, executed after a cosmic war, whose divine essence was kneaded into clay so that something entirely new could be born from what was destroyed. That god's name was Kingu. Kingu was no minor figure in the architecture of the ancient divine world. Chosen by Tiamat — the primordial goddess of the salt seas, the mother of chaos and creation both — he was elevated from the ranks of the Anunnaki to become her commander, her consort, and the keeper of the most powerful object in all of existence: the Tablet of Destinies. This was not a ceremonial title. The tablets describe it as the literal instrument of cosmic authority — whoever wore it could not be challenged by any god or force in the universe. Tiamat placed it around Kingu's chest on the eve of the great war, and in that moment, a former soldier became something terrifyingly close to supreme. What followed — the war between the old gods and the new, the death of Tiamat, the capture and execution of Kingu — is one of the most dramatic sequences in all of ancient literature. And at the end of it, from his veins, humanity was made. Let the weight of that settle over you as you drift into rest tonight. History for Sleep does not rush. It holds you in the oldest story ever told — the one where the material of a fallen god became the substance of every human being who has ever lived, loved, built, and wondered about their own origin. The answer, it turns out, was written in clay long before we thought to ask the question. Kingu's blood runs through the telling of this tale, and tonight, it runs quietly through the dark.

Jordan Peterson didn't mean to deconvert anyone. His biblical series was designed to explore the bible through psychology and allegory, not to dismantle anyone's faith. But for Ricky Johnson, a man who had spent his entire life inside one of the strictest christian sects in America, hearing the bible discussed as something other than literal truth for the first time was the crack that broke everything open. Ricky was raised in the Old Apostolic Lutheran church, the strictest branch of the Laestadian movement, a conservative Lutheran revival tradition founded in 19th-century Sweden and brought to the U.S. by Scandinavian immigrants. The OALC is not a mainstream church. Music was preached as sin. Movies were sin. Dancing was sin. Television was sin. From childhood, Ricky was taught to conform to a rigid set of rules and to suppress anything in himself that didn't align with the teachings of the preachers. He tried. For over 40 years he tried. But something was always wrong. He never felt fully present. He never felt alive. He suffered bouts of depression throughout his adult life that he couldn't explain and wasn't allowed to fully acknowledge because the faith didn't leave room for that kind of struggle. In his early 40s, Ricky decided he had to understand why he'd spent his life feeling numb. He started studying the psychology of human behavior. He watched videos about how the mind works, why people believe what they believe, how identity forms under pressure. Then the YouTube algorithm did what it does: it recommended Jordan Peterson's Biblical Series. For the first time in his life, Ricky heard the Bible discussed allegorically. Not as the literal, inerrant word of God that the OALC demanded he believe, but as a collection of stories that could be examined psychologically and symbolically. That perspective had never been available to him. It was the first light through the first crack. The algorithm kept going. Ex-fundamentalist content appeared in his recommendations. Then Bart Ehrman. Then biblical scholarship channels. Over the course of two years, Ricky learned enough to identify what had been wrong his entire life: cognitive dissonance. He had been trying to force himself to conform to a dogmatic religion that contradicted his authentic self, and the psychological cost of that conformity was the depression he'd been carrying for decades. The religion wasn't the cure. It was the cause. By 2018, Ricky was mentally out. In 2019, he left the OALC for good. Today Ricky describes himself as completely authentic, happy, and aligned. The man who spent 40 years never feeling alive is finally living. Ricky Johnson joins Derek Lambert on MythVision to tell the full story of how a Jordan Peterson video, a YouTube algorithm, and the courage to examine his own mind ended a lifetime inside one of America's most unknown and most restrictive churches.



Why were the largest human beings ever documented — individuals appearing in formal cabinet photographs from the 1850s through 1900s — placed inside circus tents and labeled as hoaxes before anyone could ask harder questions? Across America, Europe, Russia, the Ottoman territories, and beyond, the archival record preserves something the official history of the era never fully explains: large human individuals, appearing in promotional and documentary photographs, whose proportional relationships to surrounding subjects and structures resist easy dismissal — and whose biographical records thin to almost nothing at precisely the point where nineteenth-century bureaucracy should have made them thickest. As I worked through digitized circus archives, cabinet card collections, newspaper excavation reports, and institutional retention records, a pattern emerged that crosses every boundary of culture, language, and geography. The same framing — wonder or hoax, choose one, move along — reproduced simultaneously across continents with no credible mechanism of coordination. These individuals were not quietly hidden. They were placed in a context specifically designed to make them unbelievable. The circus was not a celebration. It may have been a containment system. This investigation examines the coordinated recontextualization of anomalous human individuals in the nineteenth century, the abrupt transfer of their remains and records into closed institutional custody after 1900, the architectural record that may preserve the proportional memory of a different human scale, and the question that the official explanation has never adequately answered: if these were simply tall people with medical conditions, why did so many institutions work so hard to ensure we would never quite believe them?

What if the oldest stories humanity tells are not about beginnings at all, but about what survived an ending?
Tonight we follow a thread that stretches from the ice cores of Greenland to the temple walls of ancient Egypt, through the figure the Egyptians called Thoth and the Greeks renamed Hermes Trismegistus, and into the quiet persistence of a text known as the Emerald Tablet a few compressed lines that have crossed every civilization they have touched without ever being claimed by any of them. Along the way, we trace the echoes of Atlantis, not as proof of a lost world but as a pattern that returns in places and periods that share no obvious connection. This is not a story that arrives at answers. It is a story that sits with questions old enough to have outlasted the languages they were first asked in.
Rest here for a while, listener. The thread will hold

It is not the end of the world, it is the end of the illusion.


The Basques: Europe’s Last Ice Age People. In the rugged Western Pyrenees, the Basque people stand as a surviving fragment of a much older Europe. This video explores their unique genetic heritage and ancient origins, focusing on their distinct cultural identity and the fascinating history of the Basque language, Euskera. Join us as we piece together the prehistory of this remarkable population through the lens of genetics.

We are told that human history is a short, logical progression starting just a few thousand years ago. But an ancient artifact known as the Sumerian King List tells a terrifyingly different story. What if the first rulers of Earth were not human at all, and they reigned for tens of thousands of years? In this episode of History For Sleep, we decode the forbidden history of the antediluvian world. We explore the shocking records of the immortal Anunnaki kings who ruled Earth long before the Great Flood. Discover the truth about their impossible lifespans, why the "Deluge" was actually a deliberate, localized protocol to reset the terrestrial matrix, and how human DNA was altered afterward to limit our lifespan. But you still carry the antediluvian source code within you. Lie back, close your eyes, and discover the "Sovereign Override" to break the artificial timeline, repair your genetic memory, and remember your true, immortal origins

What explains how a continent — one large enough to dwarf entire nations, mapped in detail by multiple civilizations across centuries — was officially undiscovered until 1820? Four years after an atmospheric catastrophe so total it may have ended a global civilization. Three expeditions. Three nations. One year. And a frozen landmass that, beneath two miles of ice, still holds geographic features we only confirmed with 20th-century technology. The standard explanation — that Antarctica was simply remote, that no one had sailed far enough south — collapses when you examine what the cartographic record actually shows. The Piri Reis map. The Oronteus Finaeus map. Ice-free coastlines. River systems. Subglacial mountain ridges. Drawn centuries before the official discovery, compiled from source documents that have never been named, never been located, never been explained. As I investigated the deeper record — from the 1816 atmospheric rupture to the Schwabenland expedition to Operation Highjump — a pattern emerged that I could not dismiss. Not parallel coincidences. Not bad timing. The same thread, resurfacing across centuries, in the hands of people with the power and the motive to follow it south. And the gaps in the archive cluster, with unsettling precision, around the exact moments where the most important questions should be answered. Because here's what the Antarctic Treaty also did. It didn't just regulate a frozen wilderness. It may have sealed something older. Tartaria or whatever the Old World civilization left behind — in its architecture, its maps, its knowledge of a continent that shouldn't have been known — was quietly placed just out of reach. Not destroyed. Not denied outright. Just made inaccessible. And the generations that might have asked the right questions were handed a different story entirely. This investigation asks whether Antarctica was discovered in 1820 — or whether it was hidden then.
Ancient Sumerian tablets speak of moments when even the gods felt unease — councils held in urgency, signs appearing in the heavens, and warnings passed down in guarded language. The Anunnaki are not always described as invincible rulers; in some passages, they react to cycles they cannot fully control. These records hint at recurring cosmic patterns, times when order weakens and something vast begins to stir. Was it a celestial event, a natural cycle, or a force beyond their authority? The texts never state it plainly. But they suggest that whatever once caused fear among the Anunnaki was not a single event — it was something that returns.


What if one of the most powerful feminine symbols in ancient spirituality was slowly replaced… and almost forgotten? In this video, we explore the fascinating contrast between Sophia, the ancient embodiment of divine wisdom, and Virgin Mary, the most revered mother figure in Christianity. Across centuries, religious narratives evolved, and with them, the roles of women in spiritual tradition transformed dramatically. In early mystical traditions, Sophia was not passive. She was cosmic wisdom itself—a powerful, independent force tied to creation, knowledge, and divine insight. But as institutional Christianity developed, a different archetype rose to prominence: Mary, the humble and obedient mother. Was this shift purely theological? Or did it reflect deeper cultural changes about power, authority, and the role of women in religion? From ancient Gnosticism texts to the rise of orthodox christian doctrine, we’ll uncover how these two figures represent radically different visions of femininity: wisdom vs. obedience, independence vs. submission, knowledge vs. purity. This is not just a story about religion—it's a story about how civilizations reshape myths, symbols, and power. If you enjoy deep dives into hidden history, lost traditions, and controversial religious topics, this video will take you on a journey through one of the most intriguing transformations in spiritual history. Topics Covered: The forgotten story of Sophia The rise of the virgin Mary in christianity Early Gnostic beliefs and suppressed texts Feminine archetypes in religion How power reshaped spiritual narratives


For thousands of years… before christianity, before the Devil, before the story of Eve… Humanity worshipped a woman holding a serpent. From Mesopotamia to Ancient Egypt, from Minoan Crete to India, nearly every major civilization had a powerful serpent goddess at the center of its spiritual world. But why? Why did ancient cultures see the serpent not as evil… but as wisdom, rebirth, fertility, immortality, and divine feminine power? In this video, we explore 9 ancient religions that revered serpent goddesses — including figures like Inanna, Isis, and the mysterious Minoan Snake Goddess. You’ll discover: • Why snakes symbolized eternal life and hidden knowledge • The connection between serpent imagery and female divinity • How early civilizations viewed the serpent as sacred — not sinful • And what changed after the rise of Christianity This isn’t conspiracy. This is mythology. Archaeology. Symbolism. And power. The serpent goddess wasn’t an accident. She was everywhere. And then… she disappeared. Or did she?
Every myth every epic battle between light and dark is a fragmented memory of a real galactic scale war that began nearly 400 million years ago.This is not science fiction;this is the cosmic origin story, passed down thru channelings and ancient lore.


What did three naval expeditions — three nations, no shared communication, one year — find on a continent the world wasn't supposed to know existed yet? Wilkes. D'Urville. Ross. Each sailing independently. Each returning with reports that were disputed, delayed, redacted, or quietly buried. Each arriving at the same frozen coastline within the same twelve-month window, with no mechanism to coordinate — and yet producing, across three separate governments and three separate languages, the same category of omission.

The standard explanation — competition, curiosity, the age of exploration — collapses when you examine what the crews actually wrote. Not in the published accounts. In the private letters. The raw logs. The journals donated to regional archives by descendants who didn't know what they were handing over. Geometric formations in exposed rock. Structured stone. Arrangements that experienced naval officers couldn't attribute to weather or geology — and were told, in at least one documented case, to strike from the record.

The deeper this investigation went, the more the silences began to cluster. Not randomly. Around the same subject. Across decades, across institutions that had every reason to compete and no apparent reason to agree. The pre-ice maps that knew the coastline before the coastline was officially found. The crew members who came back changed. The explorer who never finished his sentences when describing what the rock looked like. The three deaths. The one interview. The one paper. The journal that folded.

Because what the Antarctic Treaty may also have done — beyond regulating a frozen wilderness — is place a question just out of reach. Not answered. Not destroyed. Just made inaccessible. Whatever the Old World left behind, in its cartographic knowledge of a continent that shouldn't have been known, was handed a different frame entirely. And the generations that might have asked the right questions were given a cleaner story instead.

This investigation asks whether Antarctica was discovered in 1840 — or whether something was buried there then.

In February 1863, the U.S. Senate passed the National Currency Act by a razor-thin margin of just 23 to 21—two votes. If one senator had changed his mind that morning, the entire modern American financial system might never have existed. This wasn’t an accident. It was a quiet coup. Before 1863, skilled craftsmen in guilds like the Carpenters’ Company of Philadelphia (founded 1724) set fair prices through community rulebooks, not market greed. Neighbors extended credit based on trust and knowing each other’s lives—no banks taking a cut from every transaction. Barter, mutual aid, and long-term obligations kept communities strong for over a century. Then came 1863. The Homestead Act (1862) promised “free” land—160 acres for $18—but developing it cost $1,000–$2,500 in tools, seed, and livestock. Most claims failed, and the land ended up with speculators, railroads, and cattle barons. Nine months later, the National Currency Act created national banks that were required to buy government bonds to issue money—turning the system into a machine for financing federal debt, not serving people. By 1865, a 10% tax on state banknotes destroyed local currencies and the independent banking networks built around them. In their place rose company towns, where workers were paid in scrip redeemable only at company stores with inflated prices. Debts piled up faster than wages—people couldn’t leave until they paid what they owed. The Pullman Strike of 1894 exposed the model as “un-American,” but by then the old world was gone. The 1890 census, which could have connected millions of families to their pre-1863 roots, was destroyed in 1933—the day before Congress authorized the fireproof National Archives building. Coincidence? One community refused to surrender: the Amish. They still cover medical bills through communal contributions, no insurance corporations taking 30%. They had to fight Congress for an exemption from Social Security in 1965. The fact that they needed special permission to keep living the way people had for 150 years tells you everything. This story began with my grandmother’s rocking chair—perfect after nearly two centuries, made without loans or banks. It still holds weight. The buildings the guilds constructed still stand. The Amish still care for their own without intermediaries. We inherited a different world: furniture designed to last five years, workers who owe more than they earn, communities that need federal paperwork to help their members. 00:00 – Introduction: The rocking chair that remembers 02:15 – Guilds and the world before 1863 05:40 – Homestead Act: Free land you couldn’t afford 08:20 – National Currency Act: Two votes that changed everything 12:10 – Company towns and inescapable debt 15:30 – Pullman Strike and the breaking point 17:00 – The Amish: The last keepers of the old way 18:45 – The burned 1890 census and archival irony 19:22 – Final thoughts: What we lost and what still endures If this truth hits you, drop a like, comment “1863”, and subscribe.

When historians describe American agriculture, they focus on pioneers breaking virgin soil and settlers taming wilderness. But the real story, buried beneath modern industrial farms, began with something they never wanted you to know. The land wasn't wild. It was already farmed. Millions of acres across North America were under sophisticated cultivation when the first "settlers" arrived. Orchards that stretched for miles. Grain fields that fed vast populations. Agricultural infrastructure that would take generations to build. Already there. Already productive

Mallorcan Café Culture​

For more than 100 years Mallorca has developed a very independent coffee house culture: Particularly in Palma, with the rise of the bourgeoisie and the construction of spacious city apartments behind magnificent Art Nouveau facades, cafés were also established as a social meeting place, for reading the newspaper and relaxing. This coffee house culture has been revived in recent years and numerous cafés now attract Mallorcans and the island’s international guests. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, pastries, einsaimadas, cakes, tarts, churros or sweets can be enjoyed in a traditional, modern or hip ambience. I would now like to introduce you to four cafés.

It’s only a cup of coffee, but over the years this restorative brew has almost evolved into a religious order. Café culture has always been ‘de rigueur’ across Spain, and nobody does it any better than they do here in Mallorca. Everyone seems to find some time during their busy day to stop off at a local bar or café. Even through all the Covid regulations, meeting up for a coffee with friends has been one of the driving forces which has truly kept people going.

Historically, cafés in Mallorca have always been an important social gathering point. But somehow, even though there are trending coffee bars throughout the UK, café culture as we know it in Spain, doesn’t translate quite as well back in good old Blighty. Some people say it’s the weather, but I think it’s a bit more than that!

Here in Mallorca, even a few crooked tables placed outside on a dusty roadside somehow manages to create an instant atmosphere. It’s a continental thing that needs a Latin spirit behind the concept to make it work. The coffee also has a lot to do with it. Here (unless you are really unlucky) the coffee is always good and usually served by a ‘character’ or a very efficient waiter/waitress/waiting person!

Continental waiters are probably regarded as the best in the business, taking their job very seriously with dexterous aplomb as they pass tables, collecting crockery and balancing sky high trays of cups and glasses like performers from Cirque de Soleil. And I think that’s the real difference. Café culture demands atmosphere and some kind of colourful performance.

Whether it’s the juggling prowess of the waiter, the coquettish delivery of the waitress, or the lively conversation that ignites around you with each new face that appears – it’s always entertaining. Even grumpy old bar owners have an entertainment value, and it’s a worthy challenge to dig deeply into your resolve by trying to raise an enigmatic or toothless smile during service.

By contrast, I remember once experiencing a distinctly lacking episode of ‘café culture’ on a wet terrace back in the UK. The café in question was a new venture showcasing a very watered down version of continental chic. The establishment specialised in stuffed croissant – very ‘Parisienne’, yet perhaps a tad over-ambitious for Minehead!

The café was staffed by two, bored, teenage girls wearing more make up than clothes, with no waitressing skills between them whatsoever. One girl was obviously living on another planet. The other was just about capable of conversation. We were the only two customers, and sat outside on a faux Mediterannean terrace for twenty minutes with no service, before we finally ventured inside to see if ‘Le Joli Croissant’ was actually open.

“Sorrrrrrry! Didn’t realise we ‘ad any customers.” I suppose it would have helped if Squidley and Didley had glanced outside through the plastic palms from time to time to check! The two girls were heavily into chatting (to each other). One was concentrating on polishing her new ring with a piece of burnt toast. It was the one and only time I have ever seen anyone both engaged and vacant at the same time!

The speciality pastries were pre-stuffed, pre-packed and pre-frozen, merely requiring the art of being able to shove one into a special pre-heated oven with a pre-set-timer. Low and behold, between the two of them, ‘the girls’ managed to burn our order to smithereens.
“Sorrrrrry, We’re in training!” I thought she said she was in trainers, and couldn’t understand why she was blaming the poor service on her footwear!

“Would you like to place another order?” Seeing that we hadn’t received the first one yet, and had already been waiting for over an hour, we decided to call it a day and leave. I can honestly say I have never received service of that calibre here in Mallorca, although I am sure there are a few stories out there!

The Mallorcans like good coffee. They also like good service, and even on occasion, if it happens to be a little on the slow side, the coffee when it appears, will usually be delivered with flair.

With the lifting of restrictions, the café bars in my local village of Mancor de la Vall are coming alive again, and most mornings are packed to the appropriate gills, as the locals gather before their day truly begins. It’s a noisy hub, but that’s what café culture is all about - meeting and greeting with a bit of raucous revelry thrown in.

The ladies of the village perch at tables like hens around a corn-feeder, clutching their wicker baskets as they chatter and gossip with friends.

The men roost apart, and remain at their perches long after the girls have left for home to get that lunchtime ‘sofrito’ simmering on the stove.

The village elders sit for hours, putting the world to rights, watching the day go by. No-one ever asks them to vacate the tables or buy a second cup. Can you imagine that happening in Costa Coffee in the UK? Ten minutes into your ‘double chocha mocha skinny latte with caramel croutons’ the waiter usually arrives, and starts clearing the table whether you’ve finished or not!

Here in Mallorca, you can sit at a table for as long as you fancy, and no one will ever ask you to move on. Traditionally, the older generation sit for the entire morning outside the café bars, cradling a ‘carajillo’ which involves a splash of brandy, whisky or strong anis liqueur whilst hogging the best spots in the shade.

The owners leave them in complete peace, even if there are other customers seeking a roost. The mantra in Mallorca is that the ‘oldies’ have earned their place in the village and deserve their morning coffee at their favourite tables. The bottle of chosen liqueur for a ‘carajillo’ is always left on the table for the age old ‘help yourself tradition’, yet usually returns to the shelf with more than just a ‘splash’ missing!

One coffee culture consortium that reins supreme in Mallorca is Cappuccino Grand Café, whose up-market empire seems to know no bounds. Renowned for their resplendent atmosphere and slick locations, each and every one of their exquisitely styled restaurant/lounge cafés is a testament to stylish modern Mediterranean Café Culture at its best.

A cup of coffee at ‘Cappuccino’ is not the cheapest on the island. But then it’s certainly not the most expensive in the world either. That trending title goes to Kopi Luwak, or Civet Coffee, which is produced from coffee cherries which have been selected, eaten and part digested by the palm civet - a native wild cat from Indonesia.

As remarkable as it sounds, something quite magical happens within the civet’s digestion tract, and the emerging coffee beans are priceless, with a single brewed cup selling between 35€ - 100€. Ouch!

Kopi Luwak may be the trendiest espresso ever, but I think most Mallorcans I know would simply prefer their coffee to be passed through a simple percolator! Happy Horlicks!
The Klinglmair brothers, Christian and Reinhold, from Austria, took over the traditional Café Mozart at the beach roundabout in Santa Ponsa a few years ago and are delighted about their great success: Hardly a day goes by without the inviting sun terrace at the Plaza Santa Ponsa, with a view of the beach and sea, being filled to the last chair. The Klinglmair brothers spoil their local and international guests with delicious breakfasts, café, cakes, juices, fresh drinks, small snacks, fresh salads, and a small menu. On Wednesdays from 16.00h “Ladies First-Time” is announced: Each lady receives a glass of Prosecco; four ladies get “a bottle of Prosecco Fashion Victim Rosé” on the house”. On warm summer nights on the terrace, or when it gets cooler, you can end the evening inside the restaurant with a cocktail. With their attentive and amiable manner, the Klinglmairs have won over many regular guests.

Located in the old centre between the Cathedral and Placa Major, Can Joan de s`Aigo has been an institution in Palma since 1700. The ambience is evidence of centuries of tradition: dark wood panelling, floors with Mallorcan tiles, gold-framed paintings, tables with marble tops and simple wooden or wicker chairs, old chandeliers. In this traditional, cosy ambience, the owners, Family Martorell serves locals and international guests. The famous hot chocolate, the best fresh ensaimadas filled with apricots or chocolate, almond cake, cocas, finest pastries and a homemade ice cream, all at very moderate prices. The locals are willing to travel long distances to visit Can Joan de s`Aigo. The concept of the Martotell family seems to work: While many traditional shops in Palma are closing, the Martorells have now opened two more cafes.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, many friends of the island already make a stopover at the Cappuccino Puerto Portals. The large, always well attended terrace and restaurant invite you to stay, to look at the yachts and watch the world pass by, to have fun and of course to eat and drink. A nimble (also good-looking) service offers a large, rich selection: Breakfast, small snacks, fresh salads, omelettes, sushi, coffee and cake and of course fresh juice drinks, delicious cocktails and exclusive champagne. All of this is of consistently high quality, but at a price. A wonderful place to start the day, spend the day and let the day end. A good concept that has been expanded! At present the Cappuccino – Group runs 20 restaurants, bars and cafés worldwide as well as the Hotel Mama in Palma. A visit is always worthwhile.



Right in the heart of Palma lies the Rosevelvet Bakery. From the outside rather inconspicuous, is the furnishing of the small café in Scandinavian or vintage style?: old merchant shelves with the offers of the café, in addition old photos with Palma motives and display boards, on which one can read the coffee variants of the restaurant. At Rosevelvet Bakery, we rely on the centuries-old craft of baking with traditional recipes and fresh, natural ingredients. The delicious coffee – the beans are roasted in Barcelona at Right Side Coffee Roasters. The small breakfast menu also offers a tasty and healthy breakfast. Such as cakes: all homemade, varied sandwiches, brownies, tarts, cheese and carrot cakes are particularly tasty, pastries – sweet temptations, brought to the table by attentive service. The best start for a sightseeing tour in Palma or a break during a stroll through the city.

Mallorca Coffee: Island Craft And Global Curiosity​

Néstor Valinoti of NOTI Coffee Roasters observes that Mallorca’s coffee culture is shaped by its position as a global tourist destination. The island welcomes over 18 million visitors each year, blending local traditions with coffee influences from across the world.

There are plenty of great cafés in Palma, today. Including a growing number of specialty coffee shops. The latest trend, however, are urban eateries. Cool places where all kinds of people meet. Travelers and neighbors savor a sweet or hearty breakfast or lunch. Digital nomads open their laptops. And parents with small children enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in bright and airy rooms. Coffee still takes center stage. But only few come here for the hot stuff, only. These “coffeateries” are particularly popular in Palma, now


Batx.

The latest addition to the cafés in Palma is Batx in Santa Catalina. Caffeine and the sunlight streaming through the large windows give you a kick for the day.

Cafe La Molienda.This is the godfather of all hipster-like coffee shops in Palma de Mallorca as it was the first to open.

Upon popular request – ok, ok, it was only one person and that’s a friend of mine (Hey, Roman!) – I publish here my favorite coffee shops in Palma de Mallorca. As I mentioned in my Instagram Stories: I have this gift of finding the coolest places around me to have coffee. If it’s caffeine your running on and coffee makes up half of your comfort food that’s a very handy trait.

Full discloser: I’ve been to Palma before – two years ago to be exact – and you can already tell that the hipster coffee culture – or third wave coffee – picked up. There are more and more places popping up that serve not only great Espressos, Cappucchinos and what have you but also specialize on V60 or single origin specialty coffee. I’m really glad to see this and also how popular those places were amongst locals and tourists.

Rosevelvet Bakery​

Why Palma de Mallorca is the best city for specialty coffee​

A catchy and controversial headline; certainly ludicrous, but I haven’t been as impressed with the coffee scene in any city since I visited Belfast in late 2017.
But first - the city of Palma de Mallorca. The capital of the largest Balearic island of Mallorca, it’s a fully-formed city on the coast, with it’s famous gothic cathedral, old town, and splendid architecture. It’s not just a sunny beach town.
Nestled in amongst, is a compact and amazing coffee scene. You wouldn’t normally expect a great coffee scene on an island in the `Mediterranean chiefly known for summer family holidays by the sea. But perhaps that’s the reason. Mallorca is a haven for Northern Europeans - principally Scandinavians, Brits, and Germans. In the neighborhood of Santa Catalina, there are times when you hear more Swedish spoken than Catalan or Spanish.
In a wholly unscientific study such as mine, you still need some metrics. Apart from the usual (great, trained baristas, good café design, friendly - but not fake - service, clean loos, the owners’ personal touches), there is always one extra criteria I look for - the quality of its customers. Oh yes. I’m not talking here about social class, or riff-raff. I’m talking about how customers interact with the surroundings, speak to strangers, and how they treat the staff.
Of course, the type of customers one gets are out of the control of many establishments. Or are they ?
So - no to people video-calling or watching videos without headphones. No to bloodthirsty middle-aged customers with too much money and little patience treating staff rudely (poke: Australia). No to weird customer requests outside your own country (poke New Yorkers and Angelinos). No to oversized double prams in small cafés. Etc.
Yes to people turning their heads and striking up conversations with strangers (we get a lot of that at Loustic). Yes to books and magazines, rather than laptops. Yes to staff chatting to customers. Yes to sit-in rather than take-away when possible (an ecological conscience). Yes to slow, rather than fast. Yes to meeting the owners and of them being present in the establishment. Yes to a fostering a local identity and flavour, rather than trying to be ‘Melbourne’ (whatever that is.. postwar Italian migrants brought the coffee culture there).
Which brings me back to Palma.
Here are some great addresses:
Mama Carmen 1 (not vegan)
Mama Carmen 2 (vegan)
La Molienda (3 locations)
Rosevelvet Brunch and Coffee - sit in
Rosevelvet Bakery - the best bread in Palma
Café Riutort - my favourite - great local feeling, Mallorcan identity and menu, local roaster
Café Noti - great owner
Mistral Coffee House
Mistral Roastery
Nano Coffee Lab - perhaps the snharpest baristas in Palma, an Argentinian couple.
The Barn - yes the German ‘Barn-y Army’ has set up a location here.


The two cafeterias Bacan and Nano Coffee Lab, both in Palma, were named as two of the best speciality coffee shops in Spain.

Gelateria Ca’n Miquel – Where Tradition Lives On
In Palma’s old town, Gelateria Ca’n Miquel preserves the soul of traditional Mallorcan gelato. Since the mid-20th century, it has delighted visitors with turrón, vanilla bean, and nata con nueces. Every flavor is handmade daily, ensuring texture and taste remain as authentic as ever. As a result, it’s a cornerstone of the Mallorca gelato experience.

Rivareno Gelato is an Italian ice cream place in the La Lonja district, located near the waterfront and opposite the handsome sandstone building known as Sa Llotja.

Rivareno Magaluf is a fantastic place known for its superb coffee, ice cream and delicious pastries.

Since discovering this place I’ve never eaten ice cream elsewhere. The ice cream is exceptionally delicious, it’s taste and consistency are just perfect. Not to mention, the amazing service by Ana and Marta. In short, this place is an 11/10.
Best ice cream I have ever tasted, and the coffee is top class, very nice lady serving and very helpful,I think her name was Katuscia…. you have to try the ice cream or coffee if you visit Magaluf, its a must...5 star.

Their ice cream boasts incredible flavor and a unique, dense texture unlike any other Italian gelato I've ever tried. Highly recommended.

Son Armadams combina lo mejor de ambos mundos, ofreciendo un entorno residencial tranquilo a la vez de estar a pocos pasos del animado centro de Palma.

Son Armadams​

Este barrio señorial, residencial y turístico de Palma, situado entre el torrente de Sant Magí, el bosque de Bellver y el barrio de El Terreno luce una gran variedad de viviendas con carácter y grandes terrazas, vistas al mar, al bosque y al castillo de Bellver. También aparecen algunas plantas bajas tradicionales con patio y techo libre. Por su ubicación limitando con Son Dureta, Santa Catalina y Son Espanyolet, los residentes interactúan y comparten intereses en los mercados e infraestructuras. Destacan lugares de interés como el parque de Son Armadans, haciendo de este un emplazamiento inmejorable, a tan solo unos minutos andando del Auditorium de Palma, del paseo marítimo, el Real Club Náutico de Palma y todos los restaurantes y zonas de moda del momento.

Llegan escandinavos a Mallorca para comprar pisos de lujo. En el barrio de Son Armadams, en Mallorca, el arquitecto Jaime Salvá firma dos proyectos residenciales pensados para acoger a los nuevos residentes internacionales que buscan calidad, diseño y conexión con el entorno.

Son Armadans es uno de los barrios más exclusivos de Palma de Mallorca, ubicado en una zona tranquila y prestigiosa, a solo unos minutos del centro histórico. Antiguamente, fue hogar de las familias más adineradas de Palma, y aún conserva impresionantes casas señoriales que reflejan su pasado elegante. Su cercanía a la ciudad y a importantes atracciones turísticas lo convierten en un lugar ideal para alojarse o explorar durante las vacaciones.

Retro Way is a restaurant located in the center of Santanyí that prepares dishes with recipes from around the world based on the Flexitarian diet.

Plant-based menus are springing up all over Mallorca, but Retroway has ensured that Santanyí stays on top​

The picturesque southeast town offers hidden gems and plenty of traditional fare.

The cuisine of the future comes from the past​

Retro Way, which opened its doors in 2019 under the command of Pepe Costa, invites you to relax, reconnect, take care of yourself... and enjoy a simple meal.
At Retroway they define themselves as lovers of "healthy, real, homemade food, without preservatives, additives or added sugars". If you know us a little (or if you are a regular of our culinary adventures) you must already sense that we could not resist a temptation like this. Tasting it, for us, became an obligation.

Very close to the center of Santanyí is a restaurant that oozes taste and tact, and serves dishes full of color. Clearly modern and detail-oriented, the wood that covers the walls and the plaster effect that dresses the tables and chairs live up to its name. But the retro aesthetic is only the letter of introduction of this place, because its treasure (very coveted) is hidden beyond a long corridor that we walk along with curiosity: at the end, an outdoor terrace full of plants leaves us speechless. As expected, all the tables are already taken, so we will have to make do -with pleasure- with sitting inside.

Retroway's gastronomic proposal is simple, but delicious. Based on the flexitarian diet, we find vegan and vegetarian dishes, but also some dishes with meat and fish. The magic is in the mix of its recipes, a compilation made with typical dishes from the Mediterranean, Mexico and Asia. A culinary journey thought out and prepared conscientiously, as their philosophy states, with fresh, local and seasonal products. It doesn't look bad at all.

To shake off the heat while we study the menu, we order a fresh lemonade with a sweet touch that suits us wonderfully. The menu is faithful to the essence of the restaurant: a huge variety of colorful and tempting salads and starters at this time of the year (we see the watermelon tataki salad, seaweed, cucumber, radish, sesame and red curry vinaigrette and our mouths start watering) and up to eight main courses that make it difficult for us to choose: marinated salmon poke bowl, tacos al pastor, beef and falafel burgers, shitake mushroom meatballs, shrimp red curry and chicken and shrimp pad Thai. The latter is our choice.

When it arrives at the table, we can't help but smile. With a base of rice, carrot, tender garlic, egg, peanut, tamarind sauce, a touch of coriander, and seasoned with lime, the combination of textures is ideal and the mix of flavors is perfectly balanced, so that we can appreciate each ingredient separately and enjoy all its nuances. Just the way it should be! After this delicious dish, we go for something sweet: a brownie -gluten-free- with vanilla ice cream that we savor to our heart's content.

As curiosity is innate in us, we investigate a little more and we are surprised by the amount of freshly squeezed juices (available to take away in 100 % biodegradable cups) offered, the wide range of proposals suitable for celiacs and the options to treat yourself to a tasty and healthy breakfast or brunch. A perfect plan we can think of for our next visit here, to round off a market morning (if you can, get lost on a Wednesday among the stalls of the Santanyí market: you will not regret it) or on a getaway looking for coves in the region of Migjorn.

Retroway, which opened its doors in 2019 under the leadership of Pepe Costa, invites you to relax, to reconnect, to take care of yourself... and to enjoy simple, local and nutrient-rich food that takes into account the health of people and works with respect for the environment. Its dishes say it, but also its menu, which welcomes diners with an inspiring message that we now also hold on to, because now we can be sure that it honestly defines what is offered here:

"This cuisine is not so different from that of our grandparents 80 years ago, in which meat and fish were not abundant, so it was eaten occasionally. It is a diet for everyone, which adapts, without dogmas, but with hundreds of benefits, both nutritional and environmental or economic (...) We firmly believe that it is the diet of the future, but that it comes directly from our past". We like the idea. We love the taste.

Plant-based funky food at Retro Way
Healthy, organic and ethical values make this café a must-visit

Step into Retro Way and feel instantly relaxed. Exposed wood, tropical leaves and swaying tea lights all contribute to that feeling of tranquility and above all, good health. This funky café has created a menu with a simple ethos: to serve up food that fills you up, feeds the soul and is good for the planet. There is heart to Retro Way that not only shines through its vibrant menu (particularly great for vegetarians and vegans) but also through its people. Run as a family business, chef Pepe and his partner Silvia foster connections in the kitchen and behind the bar that are notably light-hearted. From sitting down to tucking in, the family at Retro Way welcome you in to enjoy home, plant-based goodness.

We start with two juices that really pack a punch. The red detox (beetroot, carrot, apple and ginger) and pink mint (watermelon, lime and mint) both zing with flavour. Only the freshest ingredients could achieve such results, which – as we come to discover – is what Retro Way excels at with every dish. The starter of ceviche comes elegantly rounded, topped with prawns, tomato and held together by a coconut milk base. Light and creamy, it is kept simple which makes for a delicate sweet flavour. The beetroot ravioli filled with cashew cheese is next and is a testament to well-delivered tasty vegan food. While the cashew cheese is crumblier than its dairy counterpart, it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Neatly wrapped, soft and pillowy – everything on point for a ravioli.

The main of poke bowl follows which is like a palette of colour, a white canvas of rice for its centre and a ring of mango, salmon, radish, avocado and edamame beans. We fold over the fluffy rice and drizzle over the gluten-free soy sauce – a hot choice for lovers of Japanese cuisine. For something closer to home, the shitake risotto with its underlying cream and courgette base will not disappoint.

To a background of bluesy jazz, we enjoy a matcha cheesecake made with coconut oil and free from gluten, dairy and sugar. Lucia, our waitress, tells us how the menu is entirely adaptable, making it an ideal eatery for those with food intolerances or dietary requirements. She pops out onto the terrace to pick some fresh mint for our pot of tea and we smile at the lights above made from upside-down garden buckets. Everything that Retro Way stands for is home-made, recycled and ethical. Funky and cool has arrived to Santanyí!

What endears many people to Mallorca is its timelessness. Sóller is one of those island towns that seem to belong to a gentler era – while still offering modern comforts and conveniences.


Life is good in the aptly-named Golden Valley. Those living in Sóller are spoiled by nature, history and a real sense of community. Evidence of successful citrus trade is all around in the finery of Modernist buildings and the grand Baroque church. Sitting proudly in the main square, Sant Bartomeu adds a picture-postcard backdrop to the comings and goings of daily life. Prospective buyers discover a wealth and breadth of interesting property for sale in Sóller.

This is what Sóllerians do so well; strong connections to each other, and not at the exclusion of foreigners. International residents are welcomed into a diverse mix of nationalities, all of whom have eschewed the fast lane in favour of a slower place. Meetings at bars and cafés happen all day long, lending an atmosphere of conviviality around town.

Maritime trade may have peaked two centuries ago, but Sóller still feels rich. What it lacks in bling it makes up for in bountiful citrus and olive groves, the Serra de Tramuntana soil producing not only crops but bright flowers and vegetation. And, of course, the nearby coastline, the sparkling Med a mere 10 minutes’ drive away.

Forget everything you think you know about ‘ex-pat Spain’. Sóller is a multicultural community of Scandinavian, British, German and French residents blending with not only natives but those nationals relocated from other regions. They all hugely benefit from a Mediterranean lifestyle, and diet rich in heart-healthy fruits and vegetables, the freshest seafood and the golden elixir of extra-virgin olive oil.

The Soller oranges the best ones in the world.

As if the best citrus-flavoured ice cream and orange juice on the planet weren’t enough to tempt you to Sóller, consider its other charms. Surprising Modernist architecture, top-notch restaurants and friendly Sóllerian smiles add to the richness of one of Mallorca’s favourite destinations for both holidays and second-home ownership.
Close proximity of the port with its gorgeous natural harbour, Blue Flag beach and myriad eating out options adds a whole other dimension. As with Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa, residents truly have the best of both worlds; the attractions of old and new a mere few kilometres apart. When you’re craving a slice of the city, the journey into Palma takes just 25 minutes.
Retirees don’t experience the boredom they might encounter in some other areas here. With at least eight schools and various cultural events and sporting activities in Sóller, this is not a sleepy little enclave but a busy, working town. Unemployment rates are low in the national context and Sóller always was, and will continue to be, on the up.

Located on the south coast of Mallorca, the Paseo Maritimo is an ideal route for beginner cyclists. It stretches along the bay of Palma, offering uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean Sea and the marina, where yachts and small boats decorate the landscape.


On one side, palm trees line the path, and on the other, a mix of modern and classical architecture, including the impressive Mallorca Cathedral.

The route is completely flat and has exclusive bicycle lanes, making it safe and comfortable.

Along the route, there are numerous restaurants and cafes with terraces that invite you to take a break to enjoy tapas or a coffee overlooking the sea. Although it is an urban route, the environment feels relaxing thanks to the sea breeze and the sound of the waves.

Doomed mafia.

Mallorca: The Ultimate Cycling Destination​

by Howard Calvert

A cyclist on the famous Sa Calobra climb. Photography by: Kovop

“The nature, the trees, the sky, the sea, the monuments surpass all my dreams: this is the promised land!” - George Sand(the wife of Frederick Chopin), real name Amantin Lucile Aurore Dupin, French Romantic writer, wrote of Mallorca in 1842.
And she hadn’t even cycled to Sa Calobra…..but she was on to something.

Now, in 2024, Mallorca is attracting more cyclists than ever, with an estimated 200,000 visiting per year, and increasingly popular events such as the 312. But what is it that entices them across the sea in their droves?
It’s not just the amateur cyclists, either — pros have been heading here to train for decades, with Bradley Wiggins making annual pilgrimages to the island since 2000, most notably using it as a training base before his 2012 Tour de France victory, and more recently Jonas Vingegaard was spotted on the famous Coll de Sóller switchback climb this May.
We’ve broken down the appeal of the island for those who love nothing more than heading out on two wheels for a long day of sunshine, inspirational views and slabs of almond cake.

We’ve broken down the appeal of the island for those who love nothing more than heading out on two wheels for a long day of sunshine, inspirational views and slabs of almond cake.

The climbs​

Let’s start with the most obvious reason cyclists come here (aside from the sun) — the Serra de Tramuntana. The undulating, 90km-long mountain range runs from the northwest region to the south, with its peaks and valleys making for some truly unforgettable routes.
We must tip our hats to the engineers who designed the dumbfoundingly twisty, mind-bending roads. In particular, Antonio Parietti Coll(born in Mallorca), who was responsible for the iconic Sa Calobra and Cap de Formentor roads, built in 1933 and 1925 respectively, which he designed with tourists in mind. (As a side note, he used donkeys to decipher the best route up and down the rocky outcrops then planned the roads following their paths.)

The climbs across these mountains have become icons, cropping up on Strava feeds across the world. Whether it’s the glorious switchbacks of the Coll de Sóller, the almost psychedelic squiggles on the 668m, 9.4km-long Sa Calobra, Wiggins’ favourite climb up the forest-lined Coll de sa Batalla or the genius design of the road to the Formentor Lighthouse, Parietti and his team chipped through mountains and teetering along cliff edges in order to make hard-to-reach destinations accessible, seemingly as if they had future road cyclists in mind.
And despite the climbs being relatively gentle when compared to say the Alps or Pyrenees, they will still sap your energy and destroy your quads. Ensure you pace yourself if you want to see everything on your list during your stay, otherwise you’ll empty your tank on day one.

The descents​

What goes up must come down, and with some of the best climbs in the world come some of the most thrilling descents.
Any of the ascents on Mallorca make for equally fast descents: with Sa Calobra, the only way up is down, so you get a feel for the twists and turns during your initial descent to the port town, including the incredible loop-the-loop bridge soon after starting, and you’ll know what’s in store on the way back up.
But not all descents are switchback-filled: Col de Femenia features long, flowy straight stretches to let loose on, and the road to Lluc from Puig Major is another fun, fast, adrenaline-fuelled downhill.

The views​

Whether you’re buzzing past fields of gnarled olive trees or fragrant orange groves, or being distracted by sparkling ocean on your way to the Formentor Lighthouse, the photo opportunities for cyclists in Majorca are abundant.
You’ll be filling your Strava feed with shots of spaghetti-like switchbacks, glorious golden-hour sunlight, the snaking road down Sa Calobra and wild goats crossing roads oblivious to the traffic.

The cycling-friendly infrastructure​

Cyclists are extremely well catered for in Majorca, especially in the northwest. In the area surrounding many cyclists’ base — Port de Pollença — you’ll find an abundance of friendly cycle hire shops, where you can rent reasonably priced bikes for the week.
There are also multiple cafés along the most popular routes where you can pause for a much-needed double espresso and almond cake. Many are aimed at cyclists, with bike racks outside and tubes, tools, and gels on sale inside.
DID YOU READ? How to Go Bikepacking in Iceland
Tolo’s, in Port de Pollença, is a favorite of pros including Wiggins and Sean Kelly, and the owner has links to the pro cycling world. As a result, it’s become a mecca for cyclists looking to carb-up in the evening, whether it’s with a Galician steak or a substantial serving of wood-fired paella.
Hotels also welcome bikes, often providing access to a garage where you can safely stow your bike in the rare moments you’re not riding, and won’t raise an eyebrow when you click-clack into breakfast in full lycra and cleats.

The mix of terrain​

The aforementioned, and often-feared, climbs are one of the main draws of the island, but another plus point is that you can easily mix it up with flat rides for recovery days in the sun.

Photography by: kovop
Ride east from Port de Pollença and the terrain is mostly easy on the legs, with long, straight, even roads, a breeze blowing in off the Mediterranean, and a wealth of historic towns such as Petra, Sa Pobla and Artà offering destination spots for cyclists to aim for.

The weather​

Most cyclists head to the island in spring or autumn, out of peak season when the temperatures are warm but not enough to fry you in the saddle.
ROUTE PLANNING: Strava Routes and Heatmap: Find New Places to Go
Expect a range from 16-25C, with limited rain and a refreshing breeze to keep sweat at bay. It also means it’s warm enough for a post-ride dip in the pool or sea followed by sundown ‘recovery’ drinks on the beach.

The food​

Carb-loading is de rigour in this area – paella, Spanish omelette, fries, pasta, pizza, cheese, cake, cheesecake, ice cream… cyclists are in refuelling heaven.
So much so, you may find it’s not unusual to put on weight even though you’re cycling 100km-plus a day.

HONOR MALLORCA..................................

The Mallorca 312 is one of the toughest Gran Fondos in Europe: 312 km and over 5,000 meters of climbing around the island of Mallorca. In this video you’ll see exactly how the race unfolds and what actually matters if you want a strong day on the bike.

About Palma's Paseo Maritimo​

The 'Paseo Marítimo' or in Catalan, 'Passeig Marítim', refers to the wonderful promenade that runs parallel to Palma's seafront. The wide avenue is made up of a pedestrianised walkway and a cycle lane, and is enjoyed by tourists and locals alike.

Palma de Mallorca​

Visit Palma city, the capital of the Balearics, for the utmost Mediterranean city experience, appealing year-round to tourists and residents.
A walk along the Paseo Maritimo is always an uplifting experience. Palm trees line the way passed emblematic buildings and Palma's yacht-filled harbour. The ever-changing view never gets boring, with pink sunrises and golden sunsets painting new masterpieces on the horizon each day. It's possible to walk along the sea front from the military port near Porto Pi, all the way to the airport, should you wish. However, by Paseo Maritimo, we're referring to the approximately 4km length from Porto Pi, up to the former fishing village of Portixol. It's the section closest to the center. During the day, people use it to stretch their muscles; and at night, they come here to dine and dance the night away.

Restaurants in Paseo Maritimo​

Stylish and trendy with stunning views of the Cathedral, Mar de Nudos offers the best Asian and Mediterranean cuisine. Combining tranquil views of the port and mouth-watering seafood dishes, El Pesquero is a sound recommendation for lunch or dinner. C'an Eduardo is also located on the seafront with views of the Cathedral and is known for its delicious paellas and 'fideuàs'. Ikatza is the restaurant at the 5-star Hotel Victoria Gran Meliá, delighting visitors with modern Basque cuisine and sweeping views of the bay.

In the busy summer months, being able to walk along the Paseo Maritimo will comes as a welcome relief. The walkways and parks are suitable for children, and there are restaurants and cafés open all year round.


«Mallorca siempre ha sido popular en el mundo de la vela», explica Kate Brannagh, directora de eventos de la Superyacht Cup, «pero en los últimos años la isla se ha convertido en un importante centro de superyates, lo que convierte a esta industria en uno de los sectores económicos más importantes de la isla»

Mallorca: Meca del Rock & Roll

The Animals
Leyendo el titulo así tal cual, podrían pensar que están ante una "boutade" de quien les escribe, pero nada más lejos de la realidad. En los años '60 del anterior siglo, Palma fue la capital de la música. Sería algo único y por lo visto, irrepetible. Porque ese sueño duro muy pocos años. Si consultan las hemerotecas musicales, comprobaran que el nombre de Mallorca fue constante en las noticias de ambito musical de aquellos días. Los nombres más rutilantes, las grandes estrellas, desfilaron por los escenarios palmesanos. Si bien ni los Beatles ni los Rolling Stones llegaron a actuar en Mallorca, si lo hicieron dos de los grupos que en aquel momento se disputaban la "tercera" plaza en importancia. Me refiero a The Animals, catapultados a la fama por su versión de The House of the Rising Sun en 1963. Este grupo era originario de Newcastle, representaban al igual que los Rolling, la asimilación de las influencias del Blues y el R&B de los cantantes de color. La voz de su cantante, Eric Burdon, seguía la linea de los bluesman con esa voz tan potente y especial.

The Animals quedarían relacionados en la historia musical de la mallorca de los años '60. Las crónicas cuentan que llegaron a la isla el 16 de junio de 1966. Los miembros del conjunto no quisieron alojarse en un hotel, pidieron hacerlo en un yate en el puerto y además, un cadillac para sus desplazamientos. Llegarían a ser recibidos en la casa consistorial por el alcalde y ya pueden imaginarse el asombro de los concejales y presentes en el acto, ante el aspecto melenudo e informal de los componentes del grupo. Ante las preguntas de los periodistas se declararon ..."enamorados de Mallorca y que venían a tomar el sol, a nadar y a montar a caballo". The Animals actuaron en la megaverbena que se celebro el 19 de junio en el Paseo Marítimo con un gran éxito. El importe de lo recaudado se destino a fondos de la beneficencia (al menos eso fue lo que se dijo). Eric Burdon, el cantante, volvería otra vez al Zhivago, y pasaría temporadas en el pueblo de Deía, donde se compraría una casa en los años '80.


The Kinks
El segundo grupo de "terceros" en fama fueron The Kinks. Los autores de la celebre "You Really Got Me" actuaron en la Plaza de Toros el 17 de julio de 1966. El titulo del festival fue "Beat 66".

Tom Jones en Palma

Cartel del festival "Beat 66"
Sin embargo parece ser que el grupo no tuvo el éxito esperado, recibiendo una tibia acogida por parte del publico. Ese mismo año llegaban a la ciudad Tom Jones, ya en la cúspide de su fama, y Nancy Holloway. Tom Jones actuaría en la sala Tagomago, por la que desfilaron primeras figuras de la música mundial. Halloway, por su parte, lo hizo en otro lugar mítico: TITO'S.

En aquella década hubo un gran numero de locales en los que se podía escuchar música en vivo, a cargo de grandes artistas de la época. Algunos de estos locales fueron: Jartan's, el salón pirata del Bahia Palace, Cabala Night Club, Rosales, Babalu, Jack el Negro, Zhivago y sobre todo, el Sargent Pepper's. Nombres como Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Bècaud, Sandie Shaw, Frank Sinatra Jr., Demis Roussos, Gary Glitter y muchos más desfilaron por esos locales en los siguientes años.

Pero el momento culminante llegaría en 1968. La historia comienza cuando el manager de The Animals, Mike Jeffery, muy relacionado con Mallorca, adquirió tres salas de fiestas: Zhivago (el antiguo Toltec) Haima (en Cala Mayor) y un espectacular local en la zona de Gomila, al que llamo Sgt. Pepper's. Planteada como una discoteca de primera categoría mundial, trajo a uno de los artistas mas importantes de la década: Jimi Hendrix. El genial músico de Seattle había revolucionado el lenguaje guitarristico del rock, pero por lo visto era un personaje difícil e imprevisible. Jeffrey contrato al guitarrista a través de su manager, Chass Chandler, que había sido hasta hacía poco el bajista de The Animals. La actuación de Hendrix fue de las que hacen época para los que pudieron verla y escucharla. Pero gran parte del publico mallorquín, no había oído hablar nunca de Hendrix y la mayoría de asistentes fueron turistas extranjeros. Al día siguiente, Jose Maria Barceló, del Diario de Mallorca lo relataba así:


Hendrix en la sala del Sgt. Pepper's de Palma, acompañado de dos de sus musicos: Noel Redding (izquierda) y Mich Mitchell (derecha)

"Jimi Hendrix: ¡BUM! ¡CRACK! El inventor del "sonido catastrofico" se "cargo" ayer en Palma el cielo raso al terminar su actuación" ...."Con toda franqueza y con todos los respetos para Jimi y sus simpatizantes, hemos de decir que lo que vimos y oímos ayer nos dejo estupefactos y aturdidos (...) Jimi Hendrix comenzó su actuación haciendo alarde de su mágico dominio sobre la guitarra eléctrica. Pero a medida que su actuación iba a más, la eléctronica domino el ambiente y empezaron a temblar las paredes" (...) ..."¡¡Fue algo espantoso. Ciertamente de miedo!!"



El cielo raso a punto de perecer.
Jimi Hendrix se hizo famoso por sus extravagancias: destruir amplificadores, despedazar baterías, pero sobre todo hacer trizas las guitarras. En Sgt. Pepper's puso en practica algo original: arremeter a guitarrazos contra el cielo raso del escenario, hasta que se vino abajo en parte. Poco podían sospechar periodistas y espectadores que aquella actuación llegaría a ser un mito. Hendrix moría dos años despues, victima de los excesos y las drogas. Y su nombre pasaba a las leyendas del Rok.

Mike Jeffery murio en el accidente aéreo de Nantes de 1973, y con el, desaparecío su gran proyecto para Mallorca. El Sgt. Pepper's fue vendido pasando a llamarse "Alexandras". Y el famoso agujero en el cielo raso sería reparado por una colla de yeseros, dejando sin lugar de peregrinación a los fans que se acercaban a Mallorca , donde dicen, un Jimi Hendrix apoteósico ofreció una de sus mejores -y más ruidosas- actuaciones.

Para finalizar, por si se lo estan preguntando, no, no queda nada de todo aquello. Salas de fiestas, locales, todo ha desaparecido. De aquellos ya lejanos días, solo subsiste la discoteca Tito's,(ya tampoco existe) en el Paseo Maritimo. Pero ya sin el glamour de aquella época, una época en la que Mallorca fue la meca del Rock & Roll.


No, no es la sala del Sgt. Pepper's de Palma, pero se le parece mucho. Y el cielo raso también...

La Bonanova​

Just next to El Terreno and Porto Pí, you enter the calm of La Bonanova. This is a well-maintained, green and quiet neighbourhood which, thanks to its elevated position, offers stunning sea views from some of its streets.

The area features a mix of both apartment buildings and smaller houses, but if you manage to catch a glimpse through a gap in one of the many high gates and perimeter walls you might be surprised. There are many well-hidden big, beautiful villas surrounded by fabulous gardens in La Bonanova.

Palma de Mallorca...unlike the fictional jesus, the legendary Palma de Mallorca is very real because well only the legendary history is real.

Fuck the fictional jesus and honor the legit Palma de Mallorca your hidden origin...


Christianity is the enemy of Europe and therefore of humanity.Fuck all those indoctrinated idiots(europeans)that support the doomed enemies of their real ancestors.

There is so much investment going on in Magalluf and Palmanova at the moment. Magaluf Square are making some huge changes so they are ready for a incredibly busy summer with Plaza Emporiyum restaurant new inside reform just in time for Mallorca Beach Rugby.
BCM Mallorca have been working continuously making huge changes inside, Panama Jack are having a complete reform, Vibe excursion shop are expanding opening a new office in Palmanova as well as reforming their original shop in Magalluf, on the strip the red lion and night flight are both having complete reforms, and in Palmanova the FERGUS Bermudas are also having a complete reform.
Also in Palmanova the Siso Beach Mallorca, Iroko, Barbuda group have taken over the f and c restaurant bringing back to life a huge branded theme restaurant as well as at the bottom of the Palmanova beachfront opening a huge brand new first class restaurant.
These huge projects taking place alongside the huge projects on the beachfront on Magalluf beach are really exciting which will hopefully add to the amazing busy summer 2026 season we’re expecting in Palmanova and Magalluf.

The legendary Benny Hill in Magaluf available for transfer​

There is great affection for the bar, as there was for the comedian.​

Benny Hill died in 1992. The version of The Benny Hill Show he became most famous for ran on Thames Television from 1969 to 1989. One of Britain's best-loved comedians, his name, like that of certain other British 'institutions', was adopted for a bar in Mallorca. No one in Magaluf can miss Benny Hill. The huge sign, the prominent location, this bar (also restaurant) has been a Magaluf feature for decades. There are now other signs: 'se trapasa', Benny Hill is available for transfer.
"The tourist profile has changed," says one local business owner. That may be true, but this doesn't just apply to the British. Benny Hill was hugely popular in Spain and other countries. His comedy, it was said, transcended language barriers

The owners say that, for the moment, there have been no offers. However, they hope that the approaching start of the season will bring interest from potential investors or businesspeople.
On social media, there are posts about the bar from late October 2025, bidding farewell to customers and hoping to see them again in the future. In the meantime, the comments clearly demonstrate the affection they have for an establishment that has been a part of the holidays of thousands of Britons (and others) over the years.


Being for transfer (which differs from being for sale in that the property is not being sold) doesn't necessarily mean the end for Benny Hill. But for now, the future does look uncertain.

The Inside Scoop on Mallorca’s Best Ice Cream Shops

Cremola

Originally from Sardinia, Davide Sanna studied gelato making with one of Europe’s most well-known gelato masters – Andrea Bandiera. He began making gelato around 2012, moving to Mallorca with his wife in 2017. They began selling their handmade gelato to select stores and restaurants, opened their first shop in Santa Catalina, followed by one near Plaça Major, and soon, there will be a new shop on Calle Velazquez, near the Mercat Olivar. Cremola makes their gelatos with 100% natural ingredients including pistachios from Italy, hazelnuts from Piemonte, almonds and strawberries from Mallorca, as well as milk and cream from Mallorca’s Agama farm, but what sets them apart is their truly unique flavours that highlight their craft. Mango Lassi, Miso Chocolate and Caramel Salado are a few of the specialties. Dog lovers will delight in their doggie ice cream treats as well. Our furry friends need to indulge sometimes as well!

Iceberg Gelateria

There are six Iceberg Gelateria stores in Mallorca, so no matter where on the island you are, you should be able to find one close to you. They have an incredible menu with sixty different flavours, ranging from the classics you know to some highly innovative ones. They have gluten-free and vegan options and are known for their award-winning recipes made from fresh and natural products. They recently won an award for “Best Gelato in the World” thanks to their orange sorbet with mint and cardamom. We highly recommend you see what all the fuss is about!

Can Miquel Gelateria

Can Miquel has long been a popular spot among the locals, and they have been serving deliciousness since 1979. This family-run establishment offers over 90 different ice cream flavours, so you will be spoiled for choice. Around 20 of those are different flavours of chocolate. Their portion sizes are generous, and their Jamaican Chocolate is a real hit. Can Miquel Gelateria has the magic touch - some may even call it the perfect Gelato.

You can't go wrong with Rivareno, their gelato has people queuing up for it (literally). Renowned for its fresh, high-quality ingredients and unique flavours that creatively reimagine traditional Italian recipes, RiveReno offers more than 100 different flavours to satisfy every palate. It was founded in 2004 and has grown over the years as they now have over 20 locations all over the world. The gelato is prepared fresh daily, with a focus on natural, velvety textures and intense flavours, they have all the classics, sorbets, and their own specialities. Must-try flavours include the Sorbetto Al Pistachio, Cioccolato Al Rhum, and Bacio. Beyond gelato, they also serve waffles, milkshakes, and other delightful treats.

La Boutique del Gelato

A small chain with a big personality, La Boutique del Gelato brings Italian flair to the streets of Palma. It's all about tradition here, with time-tested recipes passed down through generations. A dizzying array of flavours greets customers, from the bold Ferrero Rocher to the indulgent Tiramisu. What sets them apart is their creamy texture and attention to detail. Each scoop is a microcosm of creamy perfection, promising a taste of la dolce vita with every bite. It’s one of the most popular places on the promenade thanks to its scrumptious and high-quality ice cream.

Gelats Valls

Opened in 1929, Gelats Valls was the first-ever artisan ice cream shop in Pollenca. Their handmade ice cream is produced using only the freshest products. Their newest location in Playa de Muro is just a stone's throw away from one of the top beaches on the island. They still uphold their philosophy of respecting tradition and using only top-quality ingredients, and now they have a beautiful terrace where you can sit and enjoy the view while savouring your gelato.

Mr. McCoy's Island Ices

Located in an old townhouse just off the main plaza in Soller, Mr. McCoy's Island Ices has a slightly retro vibe and is all about artisanal production. Flavours change regularly depending on the seasonal ingredients available. Prices may run a touch higher than elsewhere, but the results are worth the treat. Spaces are available upstairs to sit and enjoy your ice cream or have a glass of wine. They also have an excellent selection of natural wines for sale, particularly labels that are hard to find elsewhere on the island.

IO Gelats

Opened in 2008, IO Gelats is a small storefront gelateria in Port de Soller that prides itself on its artisanal approach, making everything in-house with locally sourced, organic ingredients. Think almond and orange blossom, mango with a splash of cava, and local favourite Crema de Tramuntana. Handmade with natural ingredients, each flavour is a love letter to Mallorca, capturing the essence of the island in each delightful spoonful.

A Route Through the Best Ice Cream Parlours in Mallorca
In the midst of a true boom of new ice cream havens opening across Mallorca, what better way to explore than embarking on a delicious route before diving into its history? To begin with, the legendary Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo is a must, sweetening Palma for over 300 years. Also in the capital, as well as in Magaluf, Rivareno is one of the most sought-after ice cream parlours in all of Mallorca, thanks to its creamy Italian recipes.
The itinerary continues with the innovative flavours of Iceberg, available in Palma and distributed across dozens of points on the island. Gelats Paco, one of the most historic, continues to delight locals and visitors alike, while Capri Gelatos —in Santa Ponça and Port d’Andratx—has been a classic stop in southwest Mallorca since 1979.

Valls Gelat Artesà —in Playa de Muro—and Es Colonial —in Colònia de Sant Jordi—rank among Spain’s best and are committed to local products and artisanal recipes. Cremola, in Palma, boasts international awards and even offers ice cream for dogs, while at Heladería Giovanni on central Jaime II street, their pistachio ice cream with Es Trenc salt was named the best in the world. The decor there is a true museum of gelat. Lastly, the Argentinean Che Gelats, now with three locations in the capital, have earned a spot among sweet lovers.

From the ancient secrets of the Serra de Tramuntana to the handcrafted ice creams of Mallorca’s most iconic parlours, ice cream has been—and continues to be—one of the island’s most beloved treats. More than just a simple indulgence—no longer only a summer one—ice cream in Mallorca has a rich history deeply connected to local traditions, gastronomy, and native ingredients.

From the Tramuntana to the Palate​

The origin of ice cream in Mallorca is tied to the ancient wells or cases de neu in the Serra de Tramuntana, where snow was stored during winter as far back as the 16th century to preserve it through the summer. This snow was compacted and used to cool drinks and desserts in noble households.
The predecessor of Mallorcan ice cream is linked to Joan de S’Aigo, an entrepreneur who, in the early 18th century, came up with the idea of mixing that mountain snow with fruit juice. He later introduced the iconic gelat d’ametlla, made by hand and chilled with a manual churn still preserved at Can Joan de S’Aigo on Sanç Street.

In the 19th century, with the arrival of new techniques and the rise of refrigeration, the island saw the birth of its first artisanal ice cream parlours. A key influence was the Italian tradition—Sicilian Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli is considered the father of ice cream in 1660—especially in Palma, where Italian-origin ice cream makers brought recipes and methods that still endure today

The Island’s Most Iconic Flavours
If there’s a flavour that captures the essence of Mallorca in an ice cream, it’s almond. Traditionally made with raw local almonds, milk, sugar, lemon peel, and cinnamon, this was the first ice cream produced on the island by Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo—and it remains an undisputed classic.
Over time, Mallorca’s ice cream flavours expanded to include native ingredients. Sóller orange ice cream—sweet and refreshing—became another must-try, alongside lemon, often combined with spearmint. Other highlights include flavours inspired by local liqueur, like Mallorcan herbs, or the beloved ensaïmada pastry.

In recent years, creativity and a desire to highlight local culture have sparked bold new combinations like dried fig and walnut, almond gató cake, or even ice cream made with sobrassada, ensaïmada, and apricot jam—a sweet-and-savoury fusion that surprises (and sometimes shocks) the most curious palates.

Today, ice cream parlours continue to experiment while staying true to local ingredients, making ice cream one more delicious way to savour Mallorca.

Treat or Nourishment? The Nutritional Value of Ice Cream
Although often considered a summer treat, ice cream—especially the artisan kind—can be part of a balanced diet if consumed in moderation. Its basic ingredients include milk or plant-based drinks, sugar, fruit or nuts, and sometimes eggs. In Mallorca, almond ice cream stands out for its nutritional profile: it contains healthy fats, proteins, and minerals like calcium and magnesium. Citrus-based ice creams offer vitamins and antioxidants.

The difference between artisan and industrial ice cream is crucial. The former prioritises fresh, high-quality ingredients with no artificial aromas or preservatives, achieving its texture naturally without excess air. Moreover, many artisan ice creams use local and seasonal produce. In contrast, industrial ice creams often include additives, low-quality vegetable fats, and emulsifiers that prolong shelf life but lower nutritional value.

While calorie and sugar content shouldn’t be underestimated, choosing a quality ice cream made with natural, non-ultraprocessed ingredients doesn’t have to be an indulgence—it can be a delicious way to care for yourself without giving up pleasure.

From street carts to glass display counters, ice cream parlours have been a summer staple in Mallorca for generations. Names like El Rubio, with his cart parked outside Palma’s schools; Toni in Cala Major; or Mr. Whippy with its unmistakable tune in Can Pastilla, evoke a time when ice cream cost one peseta and was the best reward of the day. That’s how Francisco Aznar, founder of Helados Paco in the 1950s, got his start. His artisan legacy lives on today—with shops in Blanquerna and Benet Pons i Fàbregues—now run by the third generation as Gelats Paco.

Other iconic ice cream parlours like Ca’n Miquel (1979), famous for its savoury flavours; Gelats Jop (1991), inherited from the Pomar family; or Sa Fàbrica de Gelats (1994) in Sóller, have withstood the test of time. So has Helados Bellver (1980), whose master ice cream makers have launched a new chapter under the name Fred i bo Gelat Artesà, creating new generational flavours like Rebentat or pomada Xoriguer. Meanwhile, some beloved spots closed after decades of service, like Granja Royal or Longarone.

Ice cream has evolved from a summer tradition into a true gastronomic experience that transcends dessert. Today, it’s a constantly reinvented offering, adapting to new consumer demands and the creativity of local chefs.

From the classic cone to haute cuisine, ice cream—even in Mallorca—is undergoing a creative revolution. Vegan options, sugar-free varieties, exotic ingredients, and new techniques have expanded the flavour map far beyond dessert.

Haute cuisine has embraced this evolution. At the Michelin two-starred Voro, chef Álvaro Salazar transforms the traditional espeto skewer into a surprising ice cream. At the acclaimed Marc Fosh, white asparagus and elderflower ice cream accompanies brined red prawns, chervil emulsion, and head juice.

These bold creations prove that ice cream in Mallorca no longer just cools—it now delights, surprises, and pairs with the unexpected.

Are you sure ice cream wasnt born in the serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca?

HARD ROCK CAFE MALLORCA​

Est. November 29, 2008​

Enjoy fresh, delicious cuisine, handcrafted drinks, and great live entertainment at Hard Rock Cafe Mallorca. Located on beautiful Palma de Mallorca, an island paradise(literally paradise...) known for its sunny white beaches and light blue water, Hard Rock Cafe Mallorca lies 400 meters from the harbour cruise terminal, which is also the port for the ferries from Barcelona, Ibiza, and Valencia. We are just a one-hour flight from the main capitals of Europe and conveniently located near one of the busiest airports in Europe.

Dine & Drink in beautiful Mallorca​

Hard Rock Cafe Mallorca is the perfect place to eat, drink, and unwind in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Our cafe features Hard Rock’s famous, world-renowned menu, with items like the Legendary® Burger, fresh salads, and savory sandwiches. You’ll also be able to select from a few local favorites with authentic Mallorcan flavors. After your meal, browse our selection of music memorabilia or stop into The Rock Shop® to pick up collectible, city-specific merchandise like t-shirts, pins, hats, and more.

Experience the Culture​

Hard Rock Cafe Mallorca is located near the historic center of the city, one of the most fashionable areas of the island. From our 300-seat terrace, you can enjoy views of the marina and Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, more commonly referred to as La Seu, one of the most important gothic cathedrals in Europe. Let the pulse of the city inspire you as you sip an ice-cold cocktail and enjoy the finest American and local cuisine.

I usually try not to cover franchise or chain restaurants in my reviews. However, this place is an exception and genuinely holds a special place in my heart. I’ve always loved their concept since my high school years, and this location keeps that nostalgia alive in the best way…

The cafe sits in where I think is the nicest part of Palma’s downtown, the elegant and vibrant Paseo Marítimo… The staff are always friendly and the space itself feels like a mini-museum, with original pieces from famous rockstars displayed throughout.

In terms of drinks, the quality standard is exactly what you would expect from the Hard Rock name. Electric Blue has been my go-to cocktail for almost a decade. It’s strong, fun and packed with enough voltage to keep the night interesting If you prefer something non-alcoholic, the Mango-Berry Cooler is refreshing without being overly sweet. For coffee lovers, they use beans from Arabay Coffee, it’s local roastery known for its bright, slightly acidic but high-quality profiles.

One thing I especially appreciate is the atmosphere: both outside and inside are spacious, never overwhelmingly crowded and often calm. I’ve even come here just to sit and work.

If you’re lucky, you can also catch live music on Saturday nights, just make sure to call ahead and reserve a table.

All in all, it’s a great option in the center of Palma. Honestly, you can never really go wrong with a Hard Rock anywhere and this one certainly lives up to the name…

The winding streets of La Lonja, full of bars and restaurants; the busy area of Santa Catalina with its many wine and cocktail bars; or the music-filled bars and nightclubs of Paseo Marítimo—however you like to spend your nights out, Palma is bound to have something to entice you.

Compared to the notorious club scene of the neighbouring island of Ibiza, the clubs in Mallorca are a lot tamer and somewhat more sophisticated. Palma holds its own in terms of nightclubs, although it is more focused on the social side of clubbing with groups of friends dancing and mingling and not a bottle of champagne being sprayed in sight—they will most likely be drinking it! A night of dancing out in Palma often begins on the Paseo Maritimo, where the Palma Bay meets a long stretch of lively clubs and cocktail bars. For those keen to hit the dancefloor, Sala Luna delivers a lively crowd and upbeat playlist—don’t be put off by the queue; it moves swiftly and adds to the anticipation. Three Lions, EPIC, and Times Square Music Club are other favourite discotecas of locals looking to bust a move. The legendary Social Club—whose former site was demolished as part of the renovation of Palma's Paseo Marítimo—is set to reopen in 2025 beneath the terrace of the Victoria Gran Meliá Hotel, an anticipated return of one of the city's most beloved discotecas. For a more upscale evening featuring top DJs, top hits, and Spanish favorites, The Zar Society should be on your route.For an unforgettable night out, Lío Mallorca delivers a seamless fusion of Michelin-starred dining, world-class cabaret, and glamorous late-night clubbing—all set against the sparkling backdrop of Palma’s harbour. It’s an effortless blend of fine dining, theatre, luxury, and late-night fun.

Just around the corner from the popular Paseo Marítimo stretch of bars and nightclubs, Carrer de Sant Magí beckons with its eclectic lineup of bars, ranging from moody speakeasies to lively locals’ haunts, perfect for a pre-club cocktail.

A few minutes’ walk away on Paseo Mallorca is Chapeau, a speakeasy-style bar that serves up bespoke cocktails in a relaxing and 1920s American atmosphere; Ginbo, with its 16 local gin cocktails; or Brassclub which serves its excellent cocktails in weird and wonderful ways. Just don’t tell anyone we told you—cross the river to Santa Catalina and find NOLA(New Orleans). This restaurant and cocktail bar offers a sensory experience that transcends mere taste, with a daring menu complemented by an excellent cocktail menu. From natural fruit Mojitos to daring blends like the Lynchburg Twist with Jack Daniels Honey and house lemonade, or the Nola Bitch, a zesty mix of vodka, orange, passion fruit, and vanilla—you'll find everything from the classic cocktail to original mixes.

While you're in Santa Catalina, check out the famous LAB Bar for cocktail-making classes, or have a cocktail over the road in Idem with its boudoir theme and hidden terrace. Stroll a little further along Calle Sant Magi to the Kamasutra-themed Chakra Bar and ask the bartender to make you something unique, or hop over to Calle de la Fàbrica to experience a taste of Mexico's most daring tequilas and agave spirits at Agabar Cocktail Bar.

Palma has plenty of sunny terraces on which to sip a caña (small draft beer), and if it is beer you are looking for then there are lots of options for local and craft beers around town. Probably the biggest selection of beers can be found at Cerveceria Tramuntana in Santa Catalina, which boasts a catalogue of more than 200 different beers to try.

Guinness on tap, live music and sports, and a rowdy atmosphere can be found at the various British or Irish pubs in Palma. Three Lions and Shamrock are the most well-known and are located along the Paseo Maritimo and stay open to the very early hours of the morning, churning out live music and merry revelers. Hogan’s, just around the corner, is the place to catch the live sporting events throughout the year—if you can find a space!

Molly Malone’s may sound very Irish, but this bar in Santa Catalina is a popular hangout for young Mallorcans to start their weekend partying and plays predominantly Spanish music. “The World Famous” Corner Bar in Plaza Sa Drassana is popular with both the Spanish and expat communities and a favourite with the “yachties” on the island. Don’t miss killer pool on a Thursday or the cheap pints during Palma’s longest happy hour.

Every summer, the garden of the Mallorca Live Festival(Magaluf) venue transforms into Es Jardí, a vibrant stage for music, culture, gastronomy, and entertainment for all ages. The lineup of weekly events on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays fills the air with the sounds of live music acts from international icons to beloved local DJs. With an array of food trucks, family-friendly events on the schedule, and a sprinkle of Mediterranean-style party magic, this open-air festival is one of Mallorca’s most exciting summer events. Whether you're dancing at sunset or relaxing in a premium seat with a glass of wine, Es Jardí promises unforgettable nights full of music and good vibes.

The Es Jardí festival in Magalluf has revealed key additions to its 2026 edition, confirming Irish band The Corrs for a special concert on 15 August. This performance marks the Irish band’s first return to Mallorca in over 20 years since their debut on the island.

Alongside The Corrs, the festival will also feature the renowned British DJ Fatboy Slim, who is scheduled to perform on 3 July at the La Plaza stage. With a career spanning more than four decades and hits such as "Right Here, Right Now" and "Praise You", Fatboy Slim is expected to deliver one of the season’s most anticipated electronic shows.

These headline acts join a diverse Es Jardí Mallorca 2026 lineup already including Bacilos and Coti (15 July), Camela (16 July), Iván Ferreiro (24 July), Nil Moliner with R01 (30 July), Sidecars and Miss Caffeina (6 August), Juan Magán (7 August), Delaossa (14 August), and Marta Santos (21 August).

Es Jardí Mallorca has become a staple of Mallorca’s cultural summer calendar, returning between July and August with enhancements focused on audience experience. This includes new spaces, themed parties, and improvements within the venue. The festival integrates live music, gastronomy, culture, and family activities, featuring dedicated areas such as the Sa Clariana stage for Balearic artists and the Es Jardinet children’s zone.

Following a 2025 edition that attracted over 75,000 attendees across 21 dates, the Mediterranean Boutique Festival aims to again define the summer season on the island. Its eclectic roster combines international and national artists alongside emerging talent. Tickets are currently available from 28 euros, with options ranging from general admission to VIP, Terrace, Premium, and grandstand seating through both the official festival website and Entradas.com.

And then there’s the crown jewel of Mallorca’s music calendar: Mallorca Live Festival. This is the event of the summer—a three-day celebration of sound, style, and creativity that draws thousands from across the island and beyond. Past lineups have seen global icons like the Black Eyed Peas, Iggy Pop, Bad Gyal, Pet Shop Boys, and Blondie light up the stage—just to name a few. But it’s more than just music. The festival showcases immersive urban art, delicious food trucks, laid-back chill-out zones, striking visual art displays, and a buzzing market filled with local designers. It’s a high-energy, full-sensory experience that pulses with Mallorca’s unmistakable summer spirit.

Además, apoya la energía circular a través de las tres R —reducción, reutilización y reciclaje de los materiales— e impulsa acciones que compensan la huella de carbono. Una demostración de que la diversión no tiene por qué estar reñida con el compromiso con el medioambiente.


Porque sí, Mallorca también es sinónimo de turismo equilibrado y respetuoso con la naturaleza
