Area guide
About Son Vida and Bellver: the back story
The hills above western Palma hold the villa district of Son Vida, with its castle hotel and golf, Castell de Bellver in its pine woods, and the Miró foundation above Cala Major.
Bellver
Castell de Bellver is built around a round, two-storey courtyard; the view takes in the bay.
Miró
At the Fundació Miró you see the studios where the painter worked.
Ten minutes from the old town, a world away.
Our advice: Bellver in the morning light, Miró after lunch.
