Everyone knows about Palma de Majorca's splashy hotels, starry dining scene and runway-chic stores. Less well known is that the Balearic capital is home to a buzzing and ever-growing arts scene. Can it rival anything on Spain’s mainland? Can it ever. We take a tour of its must-see stops.
1. Es Baluard

A permanent hoard justifiably heavy on local artists, as well as a regular roster of well-thought-out exhibitions by up-and-comers and the cleverly done architecture – the museum being built into a stretch of ancient city wall – makes this the absolute must-stop on Palma’s art trail. Check its website for upcoming talks and exhibitions or just rock up and spend the morning mulling over one of the ground-floor collections and learn about the Balearics’ significant contribution to contemporary art.
