Más allá del impacto paisajístico y turístico, el proyecto refuerza el papel del bosque de Bellver como pulmón verde de Palma y apuesta por una movilidad más sostenible. La actuación responde también a los ejes estratégicos del plan Illes Balears 2030.
Palma de Mallorca is a city as diverse as the entire island of Mallorca itself. From stunningly unspoilt medieval and modernista old town to sprawling industrial port and modern suburbs, Mallorca is a city with many faces. But asides from its iconic cathedral, its second most distinctive landmark is surely its castle, the Castell de Bellver, sat majestically upon the most westerly of hills overlooking the city. I never fail to enjoy casting my eyes in a westerly direction on any random afternoon, for always silhouetted against the sinking sun in this most satisfyingly shaped of castles: one of the best remaining examples of a rounded gothic castle left in Europe, and featured in my most recent (and first) of Palma paintings.

Taking time, as we do, to explore this magnificent new city we now call home, my partner and I recently headed to the castle of Bellver, attracted not only by its rich historical heritage, but also by the lush forest or bosque which surrounds it. Extending for acres around the castle and covering the hill like drizzled icing atop a moist victoria sponge, the bosque is by far the greenest expanse available for Palma locals to enjoy, and with its dense vegetation and rocky untouched landscape, it is a bucolic paradise in the midst of a sprawling metropolis.

Having walked through the forest, enjoying dappled sunshine and all number of naturally occurring mediterranean plants, we reached the castle which looked even more stunning close up, with an unbeatable blue sky its harmonious backdrop. Asides from admiring the castle’s unique rounded architecture and the uniquely slim arched bridge which joins its main turret with the main structure of the building, the best aspect of this visit had to be the views afforded from the castle. Bellver indeed – for these are beautiful views of Palma which simply cannot be equalled from down at sea level.

Nonetheless, down from the hill we eventually trekked, only to find Palma’s old centre every bit as beautiful from up close as it had been from up on that hill. The cathedral’s ocre structure glowed peach like in the dying sun, and before it the blue sea sparkled as it transformed into a steady golden mass. Beautiful Palma – I could carry on admiring you forever. And I hope to do just that.

In conclusion, Castillo de Bellver is much more than a simple monument. It is a living testimony to the history of Mallorca, a unique architectural landmark, and a place from which you can appreciate the beauty of the island in all its splendor. It's no wonder that it's a must-visit stop for any visitor to this wonderful Mediterranean island.

Today, Castillo de Bellver is one of the main tourist attractions in Mallorca. It attracts visitors from all over the world who come to admire its unique architecture, learn about its fascinating history, and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views it offers.

In addition to its architecture and views, the castle boasts several attractions worth exploring and we will detail them below:

  • Firstly, there's the City History Museum, which houses a permanent collection about the history of Palma from Roman times to the present.
  • Additionally, visitors can tour the different rooms of the castle, including the central courtyard, the Chapel of San Marcos, the throne room, and the towers.
  • They can also explore the dungeons, which once housed famous prisoners such as Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, a prominent 18th-century politician and writer.
  • Lastly, the castle is surrounded by a pine forest that is ideal for walking and enjoying nature. This green space, known as the Bellver Forest, is also a popular spot for picnics and outdoor sports.
What makes Bellver Castle special? It is the only circular castle in Spain(there is another circular castle in Europe but Bellver castle is the original one), located 112 meters above sea level, with spectacular views of Palma, the bay, and the Serra de Tramuntana. This monument combines centuries of history, from its construction in 1311 as a royal residence, to its use as a prison and, today, as a museum. In addition, it is surrounded by a 100-hectare Mediterranean forest, perfect for walks and unwinding.15 million m2 of green area surrounding Bellver castle that will turn Palma into a huge green lung.


Total renovation of Palma's Plaza Mayor for new cultural and accessible purposes​

What does it consist of?​

Renovation plans for Plaza Mayor square aim to reshape this iconic space in Palma as a two-level square with open galleries and an underground cultural agora. The project, chosen by public tender, will mark a milestone in the urban transformation of the historic centre.

The project​

Palma's Plaza Mayor, the symbolic heart of the old quarter, is facing major architectural changes after decades of inactivity. The winning project, titled Ágora 001, proposes a modern re-interpretation of this space with a proposal that breaks down barriers, recovers heritage and turns it into a cultural hub open to the public.

Designed by the studios Barceló Balanzó and Scob, the square will be arranged on two levels: an upper floor as the main open space for public activities, and a lower floor converted into an agora, with galleries bathed in sunlight, meeting areas, an amphitheatre, events spaces and a future visitor centre for the city. The symbolic revival of the old cloister of Sant Felip Neri adds a layer of historical background to the project.

Beyond recovering the public use of the underground space, the plan seeks to reshape the immediate urban surroundings: streets such as Marquès de Palmer, Sant Miquel, Costa del Teatre and Plaça dels Capellers will prioritise pedestrian traffic and address the current lack of unity between the two levels. Ramps, lifts and steps are planned to guarantee accessible routes without architectural barriers, one of the main demands of local organisations.

The project is part of a wider strategy to revamp the centre, in connection with other initiatives such as the renovation of Plaça del Mercat and the cultural hub linking the square with Teatre Principal and CaixaForum. The project’s drafting team has six months to submit the final version, with work scheduled to start by the end of 2026. The square will no longer be a mere residual space, but will blossom into public infrastructure that is lively and welcoming to everyday use.

Ya seas un ciclista aficionado o profesional, te encantará conocer Mallorca en bicicleta. Muchos consideran a la isla como la meca del ciclismo en Europa y esta afirmación se demuestra con la cantidad de ciclistas que vienen a la isla (más de 200.000 al año) https://www.hotelsantjordi.net/las-3-rutas-en-bici-mas-famosas-de-mallorca.html

Conclusión: Un paraíso para los ciclistas​

La dedicación de Mallorca a la infraestructura ciclista la ha convertido en un verdadero paraíso para los ciclistas. La combinación de belleza paisajística, medidas de seguridad, carreteras en buen estado y una comunidad solidaria hacen de la isla un destino de primer orden para los entusiastas del ciclismo de todos los niveles. Tanto si busca un tranquilo paseo por la costa como una agotadora escalada de montaña, la infraestructura de Mallorca garantiza que su aventura en bicicleta sea memorable y agradable.

Mallorca es la meca del ciclismo europeo. Dónde desayunar antes de la ruta o reponer al volver, en un molino del s. XVII en Santa Catalina.
e febrero a mayo, Palma se llena de bicicletas. Equipos profesionales en concentración, cicloturistas del norte de Europa y grupos que vienen a hacer la Serra de Tramuntana convierten la ciudad en el campamento base del ciclismo europeo. Y el ciclismo, en Mallorca, va pegado al café: buena parte de la escena cafetera de Palma nació alrededor de la bici.

Lo que muchos descubren tarde es que Santa Catalina está justo en el camino: el barrio baja hacia el Paseo Marítimo y la marina, que es por donde arrancan y terminan casi todas las rutas hacia el oeste y el norte. https://www.santal.info/palmademallorca/blog/cafe-ciclistas-mallorca-santa-catalina

Por qué Mallorca es la mejor isla ciclista de Europa
Mallorca no es la meca del ciclismo por casualidad. En poco espacio encuentras prácticamente cualquier terreno: puertos de alta montaña en la Serra de Tramuntana, largas carreteras costeras y llanas alrededor de la bahía de Alcúdia, interior ondulado en Es Pla y carreteras secundarias tranquilas en el sur. A ello se suma una red de carreteras densa y bien asfaltada, donde a menudo apenas te cruzas con un coche en kilómetros, ideal tanto para entrenar concentrado como para disfrutar de rutas relajadas.

Justo por eso un buen alquiler de bicicletas en Mallorca es la clave para unas vacaciones ciclistas perfectas: no tienes que embalar tu propia bici, ni pelearte con el equipaje voluminoso en el aeropuerto, ni arriesgarte a que sufra daños durante el transporte. En su lugar te espera una bici de gama alta con mantenimiento profesional y, si quieres, lista en tu hotel a tu llegada.

En Elite Sports estamos activos en la isla desde 2024 y atendemos a ciclistas de carretera, entusiastas del gravel, mountain bikers y usuarios de e-bike de toda Europa. No solo alquilamos bicicletas: también te asesoramos sobre rutas, desnivel y el desarrollo adecuado para la montaña, para que tu bici encaje de verdad con lo que tienes pensado hacer.

Las mejores regiones ciclistas de toda la isla
Serra de Tramuntana (oeste): la cordillera del noroeste es el corazón del ciclismo en Mallorca. Subidas legendarias como Sa Calobra, el Coll de Sóller, el Puig Major (el puerto más alto de la isla) y la ruta al Cap de Formentor atraen cada año a miles de ciclistas de carretera. Pueblos como Sóller, Valldemossa, Banyalbufar y Andratx son metas de etapa perfectas. Aquí cada desarrollo cuenta: una bici de carretera de carbono ligera o una e-road con asistencia del motor marcan la diferencia.

Norte / bahía de Alcúdia: alrededor de Alcúdia, Port d'Alcúdia, Playa de Muro, Can Picafort y Pollença empieza para muchos el día ciclista perfecto. La región es la zona clásica de concentraciones: tramos llanos de calentamiento junto a la costa, desde los que puedes desviarte en cualquier momento hacia la Tramuntana o el interior. Desde Port de Pollença sale el clásico hacia el Cap de Formentor, con sus famosas vistas.

Este, centro y sur: el este alrededor de Artà, Capdepera, Cala Ratjada y Cala Millor ofrece rutas tranquilas y onduladas con poco tráfico. El centro (Es Pla), con Sa Pobla, Santa Margalida, Petra, Sineu y Manacor, es un terreno ondulado y disfrutón, ideal para largas salidas de base y rutas de gravel por caminos rurales. En el sur, alrededor de Palma, Llucmajor, Cap Blanc, Santanyí y Ses Salines, te esperan carreteras amplias y solitarias y bonitos tramos de costa.

¿Qué bici encaja con cada terreno?
Carretera y endurance: para el asfalto, los puertos y los días largos sobre el sillín, nuestras bicis de carretera de carbono de Factor y Canyon son la primera opción — todos los modelos y precios en alquiler de bicis de carretera en Mallorca. Las bicis aero rápidas brillan en las carreteras costeras, mientras que los modelos endurance, más cómodos y con una geometría algo más relajada, son ideales para rutas de varios días por la Tramuntana: marcha estable, más confort y, aun así, ligeras y rápidas.

Gravel: si quieres salir del asfalto, alquila una bici gravel. Con ella accedes a las pistas de tierra y los caminos de Es Pla, conectas costa e interior y ruedas trazados imposibles con una bici de carretera pura. La gravel es la opción más versátil cuando quieres combinar asfalto y naturaleza.

Montaña y eléctricas: para los senderos de la Tramuntana y el terreno técnico ofrecemos mountain bikes y e-MTB, entre otras de Thok. Las bicicletas eléctricas, ya sea e-road o e-MTB, son la solución perfecta si vais a ritmos distintos, si queréis disfrutar de los grandes puertos sin agobios o simplemente rodar más relajados. El motor compensa el desnivel y las diferencias de forma física, de modo que todo el grupo se mantiene unido.

La mejor temporada para tus vacaciones ciclistas en Mallorca
La mejor temporada ciclista en Mallorca es la primavera, de febrero a mayo, y el otoño, de octubre a noviembre. En esos meses las temperaturas son agradables, las carreteras están más vacías que en pleno verano y las condiciones son ideales para salidas largas y concentraciones. Muchos clubes y ciclistas aficionados exigentes sitúan justo en esta época su preparación de temporada en la isla.

Si planeas una concentración, merece la pena reservar con antelación: en temporada alta la demanda de bicicletas premium es alta y los modelos más solicitados se agotan rápido. En cuanto confirmamos personalmente, queda reservada exactamente la bici que has elegido, incluida la talla de cuadro adecuada y el ajuste profesional in situ.

Para grupos a partir de cinco bicis preparamos encantados condiciones individuales. Tanto si es un club, un grupo de amigos o la familia: dinos las fechas, el número de personas y los tipos de bici que queréis, y nos encargamos de la logística, incluida la entrega en toda la isla en vuestro alojamiento.

Así de fácil son la reserva y la entrega
La reserva solo lleva unos minutos: eliges online tu bici y las fechas, indicas si recoges en Can Picafort o prefieres entrega en toda la isla, y completas la reserva. La confirmación te llega directamente por correo electrónico. El pago es cómodo y seguro con tarjeta de crédito, PayPal o transferencia: no aceptamos efectivo.

En la entrega ajustamos tu bici profesionalmente a tus medidas: la altura del sillín, la posición del manillar y los pedales los configuramos para que ruedes cómodo y eficiente desde el primer kilómetro. El seguro contra daños, un kit antipinchazos con cámara de repuesto, desmontables y bomba, y nuestro soporte van siempre incluidos. No pedimos fianza: basta con un documento de identidad válido.

Si tienes algún problema durante la ruta, nos localizas por WhatsApp, teléfono o correo electrónico. Al final de tu periodo de alquiler recogemos la bici donde estés o la devuelves en nuestra estación de Can Picafort. Así te ahorras la logística y tienes la cabeza libre para rodar. https://elitesports-mallorca.com/es/alquiler-bicicletas-mallorca/

Mallorca es la meca del ciclismo. No cabe duda. Tiene todo lo que el corazón de un ciclista puede desear: buen tiempo, subidas espectaculares, llanos rápidos, las mejores carreteras, vistas impresionantes, cafeterías para ciclistas y una gran comunidad que celebra este deporte. Desde la famosa subida de Sa Calobra, con sus interminables curvas, hasta la serpenteante carretera costera que sube hasta Cap Formentor, o los llanos del interior a través del corazón agrícola, donde sólo encontrarás ovejas y más compañeros ciclistas, Mallorca es un tesoro para el ciclismo. Para ayudarte a organizar tus vacaciones ciclistas en la isla, hemos recopilado una lista de algunas de las mejores rutas y lugares de interés ciclista. https://blog.hotelcanbonico.com/es/ciclismo-en-mallorca-hotel-can-bonico/

What’s so special about the oranges from Sóller?

Sóller’s oranges aren’t just fruit — they’re part of the valley’s identity. Grown in the fertile soil of this sunlit corner of the Tramuntana mountains, they’re some of the most aromatic and flavorful in Spain. Back in the late 1800s, they were so prized they were shipped by sea to Paris, earning the nickname “liquid gold.” The Palma – Sóller railway, opened in 1912, was even built to transport the orange harvest to market.



So what makes them so exceptional? The valley’s unique geography does most of the work: surrounded by mountains, open to the sea, and blessed with a mild, humid climate that’s ideal for citrus. For decades, Sóller’s isolation preserved local varieties like the Canoneta — a small, thin-skinned orange that’s incredibly sweet and juicy.



Today, Sóller oranges are still grown the traditional way: on stone-walled terraces, harvested by hand, and often using organic methods. They show up everywhere — in cafés as freshly squeezed juice, in marmalades, in honey and liqueurs like Angel d’Or, and most famously in the town’s signature orange ice cream from Sa Fàbrica de Gelats. One taste, and you’ll understand why this valley has citrus in its soul. https://humansofmallorca.com/whats-so-special-about-the-oranges-from-soller/

The History of Soller’s Famous Oranges: A Sweet Story of Trade and Tradition​

Posted: Sunday, 2nd February 2025

Soller’s oranges are as iconic as its Tramuntana mountain backdrop. Known for their vibrant color, juicy sweetness, and delightful aroma, Soller’s oranges have become a symbol of the region’s agricultural heritage and a cornerstone of its local economy. The story of these famous oranges goes beyond their flavor—it’s a tale of trade, tradition, and resilience that has shaped Soller’s identity. Here’s a look at the rich history of Soller’s oranges, how they came to prominence, and where you can stay to immerse yourself in this sweet legacy.

A Tradition Rooted in History​

The history of Soller’s orange trade dates back to the 19th century, a time when the town was relatively isolated from the rest of Mallorca due to the surrounding mountains. While this isolation posed challenges, it also encouraged Soller to establish connections beyond the island. The town’s fertile soil and Mediterranean climate created the perfect conditions for growing oranges, particularly varieties like the Canoneta and the Navel, known for their sweetness and rich flavor.

As Soller’s orange industry flourished, local traders began exporting their produce to France and other European markets. This trade connection was made possible by Soller’s location on the coast, where Port Soller served as a gateway for exporting goods. Soller’s oranges quickly gained popularity in Europe, establishing the town as a prominent player in the orange trade. The revenue from this trade brought prosperity to the region, funding the construction of beautiful homes, public buildings, and even the iconic Soller Train, which now serves as a popular attraction for visitors.

The Golden Age of Orange Trade​

The 19th and early 20th centuries were the golden age of Soller’s orange trade. Ships laden with crates of oranges departed regularly from Port Soller, bringing the sweet taste of Mallorca to the tables of Europe. During this period, oranges became a symbol of wealth and success for Soller, with local families prospering from the booming trade. The town’s architecture, including the grand buildings around the main square, reflects the wealth generated from this golden age of trade, showcasing intricate facades and stylish design elements influenced by European trends.

Even today, traces of this prosperous era remain evident in Soller’s culture and economy. The town continues to celebrate its orange heritage through local festivals and traditions, including the annual Fira de la Taronja (Orange Fair), held each spring. This vibrant festival honors the role of oranges in Soller’s history and features orange-inspired dishes, activities, and events that bring the community together.

A Decline and Revival of Tradition​

In the mid-20th century, Soller’s orange trade experienced a decline due to economic challenges, competition from other regions, and changes in the global market. The construction of a tunnel in the 1990s, which made Soller more accessible, marked a turning point for the town. While the demand for oranges in international markets waned, tourism offered a new avenue to celebrate and sustain Soller’s orange heritage.

Today, visitors flock to Soller to experience the charm of its orange groves, taste fresh orange juice, and sample locally made products like orange marmalade and liqueurs. The renewed interest in Soller’s oranges has transformed this agricultural tradition into a cultural attraction, allowing visitors to connect with the town’s history while enjoying the fruits of its labor.

Experiencing Soller’s Orange Legacy Today​

If you’re visiting Soller, be sure to take a stroll through the town’s orchards, sample fresh orange juice at a local café, and explore the various products made from this celebrated fruit. Many restaurants and cafes in Soller and Port Soller incorporate oranges into their dishes, offering unique flavors that reflect the town’s heritage. You can also visit local markets to find orange-based products, such as marmalade, honey, and beauty items infused with the essence of Soller’s famous oranges. https://ruralhotelsmallorca.com/guides/The-History-of-Soller’s-Famous-Oranges

Valle de los Naranjos

While citrus orchards flourish across Mallorca, the region of Sóller holds a heritage that feels unmatched. Protected by the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana, the Valle de los Naranjos — or Valley of the Oranges — it stands as a beautiful testament to centuries of cultivation.. By the 19th century, Sóller’s oranges had become emblematic of Mallorca. Every dish reflects the same philosophy embodied by the surrounding landscape: seasonal, sun-nurtured, and rooted in local tradition. As the scent of citrus mixes with rosemary and sea breeze across the resort’s terraces, dining becomes a sensory link to the valley, to the craft, and to the enduring charm of Mallorca’s golden fruit. https://uiuat.jumeirah.com/ar/Artic...t-de-Soller-Mallorcas-beautiful-orange-fields

Sóller(Mallorca) navel oranges are sweet, seedless winter fruits ideal for eating fresh, while Valencia oranges are juicy, thinner-skinned summer fruits best known for juicing.The oranges of Mallorca are renowned worldwide for their outstanding quality.The Canoneta is the Soller Valley's pride and joy orange.

ORANGE FESTIVITIES-CANONETA VARIETY-SOLLER-JUMEIRAH PORT SOLLER & SPA- PARADISE ON EARTH​


Image

Soller is one of those nooks on Mallorca where the sea and mountains merge , forming a fertile valley,flooded with orange tree groves,and of course this is why the orange groves play an important role in Soller.
One of the great experiences that Soller offers visitors is the orange blossom, and the scent of orange blossom permeates every corner of this beautiful valley.
The orange blossom, a beautiful flower that gives off a pleasant smell and whose name comes from Arabic “azhar” in spanish and means white flower,
The orange blossom is in April and May and visit Soller at this time is a luxury for the senses.
The orange blossom besides having a pleasant smell, which makes it ideal for the production of homemade perfume(based on its petals maceration in alcohol reduced to 45º) can also be used in cosmetics as facial toner and cleanser, in confectionery as flavoring (extracted from the distillation of bitter orange blossom) for products like roscon de reyes but also has therapeutic properties and can be used as a sedative too.
Another of the great events related to the orange, currently being held in Soller is the Orange festival, popularly known as «Fira de la taronja» where they try to promote the product par excellence, typical of Soller, the Orange, and in particular an orange variety known as canoneta, which is thought to come from Can canonet in Soller
This local orange variety, exclusive from port Soller, arising from a polyembryonic work, is a juicy orange and very sweet because of its high sugar content and the canoneta variety is harvested until the end of June.
Soller has a strong tradition of growing oranges that dates back more than seven centuries and especially this variety,canoneta.
Canoneta, is an orange that since the beginning of the 19th century and early 20th century it was exported to France and even managed to arrive to the Louis XIV Royal Court, and the King Louis XIV declared he would not accept any other variety of orange which was not the canoneta orange from Soller, because this canoneta orange is a pleasure for the most exquisite palate.
But the export of oranges to France also made links between Soller and France to increase more and more,and this is evident in the language of the inhabitants of the valley, the solleric is full of French expressions (solleric Gallicisms).
Image
It appears that the orange came from China ( its scientific name Citrus sinensis..wrong citrus fruits are native to Iberia and Mallorca the REAL Garden of Eden) through the "Arabs"(represented by the Basques the founders of every nation..) arrived to Spain and clearly knew how to select the best place-Mallorca- rooted in Soller, surrounded by the majestic mountains of the Sierra Tramutana, declared in 2011 World Heritage Site by Unesco.
The geographical situation of the Soller valley, means it enjoys a special microclimate, different than the rest of the island. Joined the richness of water flowing through its torrents and streams (which allows you to irrigate citrus not using treated water) the growing system where we can admire the fruit trees growing on the terraces or mallorcan bancales (steps on the mountains), due to the steepness of the terrain, the fertility of the soil (which is also very well-drained) and the Mediterranean sun illuminating the valley, make Soller to be the orchard of Mallorca,the citrus paradise.
The distinctive characteristics of the variety Canoneta (native from Soller) are its medium size, slightly rough skin and the presence of a few seeds from the pulp, as well as the fact that it gives lot of juice and has a pleasant slightly acidic taste . It reaches its peak of ripeness in summer. Canoneta Orange is characterized by its flattened spherical shape, and its medium to large size. The color of the fruit ranges from yellow to Orange to a deep orange.
Because of the Orange festival-Fira de la taronja, many bars and restaurants have joined this event, being held in Soller, developing menus based on the belle of the ball, the Canoneta Orange.


Let us guide you to discover Soller and the Orange Festivities, the beauty of this valley, the tranquility breathe there, delight yourself with a menu elaborated with the Soller flagship product, CANONETA orange https://mallorcaprivatetourguides.c...jumeirah-port-soller-spa-a-paradise-on-earth/

Deep in the jungles of Guatemala lies one of the greatest lost cities of the ancient Maya world.

In January 2026, we embarked on an expedition to the legendary Maya city of Piedras Negras (Yo'ki'b), one of the most powerful royal capitals of the Classic Maya civilization. Our mission, however, extended far beyond documenting its spectacular pyramids, palaces, and carved monuments.

Ancient traditions, archaeological clues, and modern accounts point toward the possible existence of a vast subterranean world hidden beneath the city: caves, tunnels, cenotes, and perhaps even a legendary "Hall of Records" said to preserve knowledge from a civilization far older than the Maya themselves.

Over the course of this documentary, we explore the jungle-covered ruins of Piedras Negras, follow the stories recorded in its magnificent hieroglyphic inscriptions, investigate unusual astronomical alignments connected to the Maya calendar, and search for evidence of hidden passages beneath the Great Acropolis.

Could the ancient name of the city—Yo'ki'b, "The Great Entrance"—refer not only to a royal capital, but also to an entrance into the Maya underworld?

Join us on an unforgettable adventure through one of the most remote and mysterious archaeological sites in Mesoamerica.

El Velódromo de El Tirador(pionero por ser el primero en el pais) se integrará en el futuro Bosque Metropolitano, un gran anillo verde que unirá Palma con la Serra de Tramuntana.La barriada de Es Fortí nace en la primera década del siglo XX tras el derribo de las murallas de Palma. En Es Forti nace el Eixample.

Posiblemente, la barriada de Es Fortí sea una de las zonas de Ciutat que los palmesanos suelen ubicar con mayor precisión. Situada entre Son Cotoner, Son Dameto y Camp d’en Serralta, en la actualidad cuenta con unos 7.700 habitantes, la mayoría de ellos residentes de toda la vida.

La barriada de Es Fortí nace en la primera década del siglo XX, en las inmediaciones de Sa Riera, tras el derribo de las murallas de Palma, por lo que fue uno de los primeros barrios que tuvieron el honor de formar parte del Eixample.

Cuentan las crónicas que esta barriada debe su nombre a un hornabeque —fortificación defensiva exterior— que se había construido en la zona a finales del siglo XVII. En este caso, como en tantos otros, las crónicas tenían seguramente razón, pues el espacio emblemático que hoy conocemos como Plaça Es Fortí se denominó durante décadas Plaza Hornabeque.

Muy cerca de allí, en la Plaça Barcelona, se ubicó a lo largo de medio siglo otro lugar igualmente emblemático, o así era considerado al menos por los seguidores del Real Mallorca: el estadio Lluís Sitjar, originariamente conocido también como Es Fortí. Inaugurado en 1945, fue el estadio oficial del conjunto bermellón hasta 1999, fecha en que se produjo el traslado del club mallorquinista a Son Moix, aunque el filial seguiría jugando en Es Fortí hasta 2007.


Los Vedas son los cuatro libros sagrados de la India antigua de los cuales se derivan los Upanishads y todas las subsecuentes escuelas de la filosofía hindú.
