Living here

This part of Palma covers the mostly 20th-century barris east and north-east of the old town, from the Pere Garau market out past the Via de Cintura ring road. One of the city’s most densely populated and mixed areas, mostly flats, it rewards buyers who want everyday Spanish city life close to the centre and can live with some rough edges.

The area starts just beyond the Avingudes, the ring of avenues around the old town. Foners and Pere Garau grew out of Palma’s 1901 extension plan, the Pla Calvet. Building was slow at first, and in Foners the early homes were mostly houses of one or two storeys with a courtyard or small garden. Later plans allowed blocks of flats, and in the 1960s and 1970s, as newcomers arrived, many from mainland Spain, blocks filled most of the streets. All 16 barris covered here belong to the Llevant district.

Pere Garau is the heart of it and Palma’s most populous barri. Daily life revolves around the municipal market on Plaça de Pere Garau, designed by Guillem Forteza and opened in 1943. It opens early, Monday to Saturday, with island farmers selling their own produce next to butchers, fishmongers and South American grocers, and stalls of plants, clothes and shoes outside. Carrer de Nuredduna, the main street, was turned into a pedestrian street in works that began in 2021, and the square also has a public library. Long-standing local families live here alongside people from Latin America, Africa and Asia.

There are public health centres in Pere Garau, Son Gotleu, Rafal Nou, Son Cladera and Son Rutlan, referring to Son Espases or Son Llàtzer hospital depending on the centre. Many barris, among them Foners, La Soledat, Rafal Vell, El Viver and Son Gotleu, have their own state primary school, and state secondary schools serving the area include Josep Sureda i Blanes in Son Gotleu, Son Cladera and Son Rullan. Green space is scarce: residents of Pere Garau say teenagers end up in Parc de ses Estacions, by Plaça d’Espanya. Can Pere Antoni, the nearest sandy beach, is 20 to 25 minutes' walk from the market.

Son Gotleu, by the Via de Cintura, is home to many families from Africa and other countries, and residents from Mallorca or mainland Spain are now a minority. It has long-standing problems: run-down and squatted buildings, drug dealing and a constant police presence. In June 2026 the city and the Balearic Government agreed to prepare a regeneration plan, and the planned Palma to Llucmajor railway is due to stop nearby. Son Cladera, between the Inca motorway and the railway, is mostly a 1960s estate.

Who buys here

The area has long been home to working families from Mallorca and mainland Spain and, more recently, from abroad. Since about 2023 the island press has reported growing interest from foreign buyers and investors in Pere Garau, Germans in particular, drawn by its central position and lower prices than in the old town. Buyers who do well here want a real city neighbourhood with a market on the doorstep and don’t mind renovating. Local residents' groups criticise the gentrification.

Property

Most homes are flats. A 2023 press report said much of Pere Garau’s stock dates from the 1970s and usually needs refurbishing. Foners still mixes early 20th-century houses of one or two storeys with later blocks, and El Viver is a patchwork of types. Son Cladera is largely a 1960s estate of identical subsidised blocks, and many buildings in Son Gotleu are in poor condition. Some new building is planned: in January 2026 the press reported approval for a block of 26 flats in Pere Garau, with sales due from 2028. Some buildings stand empty or are squatted, so check the neighbours too.

Questions buyers ask

Is Pere Garau a safe place to live?

Pere Garau itself is a busy, mixed working neighbourhood, though residents complain about squatted buildings and vandalism. The most serious problems are in Son Gotleu, where the press has reported long-standing drug dealing, run-down housing and a constant police presence. Walk the streets around a flat by day and at night before you commit.

What does Eastern Eixample mean?

It is our name for the 16 barris covered here. Foners and Pere Garau belong to Palma’s first eixample (extension), planned in 1901 beyond the old walls, while barris further out, such as Son Gotleu and Son Cladera, were built up later.

Is the area gentrifying?

Parts of it are. Since 2023 the island press has reported growing interest in Pere Garau from foreign buyers and investors, Carrer de Nuredduna has been made a pedestrian street, and in January 2026 the press reported council approval for a block of 26 flats expected to be aimed at wealthy foreigners. Local groups such as Flipau amb Pere Garau have criticised the change for years.

Would a flat here work as a tourist let?

No. Apartment buildings across Palma have been closed to holiday lets since 2018, and new holiday-rental places in houses were ruled out for good in May 2026.

How good is public transport?

Plaça d’Espanya, where the metro to the university and the trains to Inca, sa Pobla and Manacor start, is 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Pere Garau market, and the metro also stops at Son Costa-Son Fortesa. A new railway from Palma to Llucmajor via the airport is planned to stop at Plaça de Miquel Dolç, about 10 minutes' walk from the market; the government’s target is to start works in 2028 and run trains from 2032.
