Plaza Major Palma's Plaza Mayor is like squares in all Spanish cities. Formerly it was the public centre of the city, where citizens met up for different activities that were carried out there. Nearby is the Rambla and Avenida de Jaime III, two important, busy shopping streets. Outstanding features of this area are Casa Berga, with its impressive Baroque balcony, which has now been converted into the Provincial Court, and Calle del Sindicato, which was the centre of the guilds in olden days. |

Las Ramblas Nowadays in La Rambla there are stalls selling flowers, but it still has an austere character, with no bars with open-air seating. This is because around it there are churches and convents occupying a large part of its perimeter, such as the Convent of Santa Magdalena and the church of Carmelo. |
