Those looking for the closest thing Palma has for a strip should head down to the Paseo Marítimo on a Friday night for some guaranteed buzzing nightlife.

And as the oldest club on the island the multi-story Tito's nightclub is the grandaddy, though it certainly isn’t showing its age. The likes of Frank Sinatra and Liza Minelli might have partied here, but nowadays the club hosts world-class DJs (often on their way to Ibiza) and offers some spectacular shows as well as great views over the marina.

Although the recent fame of the Balearic Islands as a tourist hub has diluted the indigenous culture to a greater degree than might be desired, the inhabitants still show the laid-back friendliness noted in Roman years and later accounts. Spanish culture has had the strongest influence over the last 500 years or so, and is especially noticeable in the fields of religious artifacts and the archipelago’s delicious cuisine.
