Experience this spot in Palmanova. Great location for scuba diving, sailing, supping and wind surfing. Palmanova is a popular tourist resort town located on the southwestern coast of the island of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands of Spain. The town is set on a narrow strip of land between the Mediterranean Sea and a series of rocky hills that rise to the west. The area is known for its stunning scenery of crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches, and rugged, rocky cliffs. In the town, there are plenty of hotels, restaurants, bars, and shops, and a variety of water sports are available. Beyond the town, visitors can explore the surrounding countryside, including hills dotted with olive groves and almond trees, and charming rural villages. The nearby capital of Palma de Mallorca is only a short drive away, and offers a wealth of historical, cultural, and artistic attractions.
