Palma · Area guide
Sant Jaume
Quiet old-town quarter
Introducing
A discreet pocket of Palma's old town around the Sant Jaume church — narrow streets, sandstone façades and some of the city's most sought-after palacios and patios.
Who buys here
Buyers who want an old-town address with less foot traffic than La Lonja or Sant Nicolau — collectors, design-led owners and long-term residents.
Property market
A tightly held micro-market of palacios, patio houses and full-floor apartments; restored stock with a patio or terrace commands a clear premium.
Lifestyle
Patios at home, galleries and ateliers at the door, the Born and the cathedral within a short walk.
