Arta, Majorca, Balearics, Spain
Historic Arta is located in the North eastern corner of Majorca approximately 70 km from Palma. Back in 1820 the town was decimated by one of the last known outbreak's of bubonic plague recorded in Europe as a result many of the surviving inhabitants of the town moved to the nearby coastal village now known as Colonia de Sant Pere.
Arta is built in the centre of a large valley at the foot of a small mountain.
The 14th century Sanctuary of Sant Salvador is certainly worth a visit with its magnificent walled grounds.
Arta is still only within a short drive of the nearby resorts of Cala Ratjada and Can Picafort with its beaches and nightlife.
 

Suncentre Guide to Mallorca
Tourist Information + holiday and property Guide.

 

The sheer northeastern coast between Banyalbufar and Pollença, before the awesome grey cliffs of Formentor and its lonely white lighthouse, already charmed the Fenitians, Romans and Arabs. Tourism three thousand years ago.

 

Palma de Mallorca Much of Palma's nightlife is centred around La Llonja, with exotic Abaco (Calle Sant Joan), the sophisticated Golden Door (Apuntadores 3) and Nanas (Calle de Mar), home of Spanish dance and disco, among the many possibilities. Head west along the Paseo Maritimo to La Bolsa for house funk, salsa, and Spanish music. Made in Brasil is the place for rumba, samba and lambada, while Mira Blau serves up salsa. Pacha, overlooking Ca'n Barbara, caters for all tastes, while the Victoria Center offers a disco, live music and karaoke. Country music fans should aim for La Bandera (Calle Miguel R. Alemany, opposite Nixe Palace). Mombatte café bar (Calle San Magin) presents music from around the world, while Café Barcelona (Calle Apuntadores) features a constantly changing programme of live jazz and blues. The Garito Café (Darsena de C'an Barbara) is open every night from 7pm, with jazz, electronic music and dance rhythms.
