After Palma de Mallorca, Calvia is probably the wealthiest municipality (county) in Majorca. The area accounts for a large proportion of Majorca's tourist industry with the hugely popular resorts of Magaluf, Palma Nova, Santa Ponsa and Portals Nous to name a few.
Palma Nova is situated approximately 14KM from Palma de Majorca and sits adjacent to the hugely popular Magaluf. The two resorts are almost indistinguishable from one another, although Palma Nova is known to have a younger family orientated atmosphere through the day in peak season. However, don't expect a peacefully quite holiday here. Palma Nova is famous for round the clock party antics invariably fuelled by cheap alcohol from the many bars and clubs in the resort.
Two miles inland from the beach you will find the old fortified town of Alcudia with its walls built up by King Jaume I in about 1300 A.D. The town is excellent to stroll round, and you will be spoilt for choice when deciding what to eat and drink as you take in its charming streets.
Costa Nord is an initiative of the actor Michael Douglas encouraging diversity and artistic creation. Every summer they organise a series of concerts free of charge in this old residence of Valledmossa. The concerts are in the open, under the stars. Before the concerts a meal is served, a delicious menu for 25€ per person.
