4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

Loved the atmosphere, great for people watching and prices for snacks and wine very reasonable... Did get a little fed up with street musicians continually coming round looking for donations after playing less than great music for 20 mins. Arriving home, as I write this, I would not be disappointed to never hear another accordion again in my lifetime!! :-) More

The same as many other Placa Majors - taken over by bad, over priced cafes and street entertainers. There is even a Burger King about to open. More

Lovely architecture and a lovely feel. However, it's very touristy so I would recommend a walk through, but find another plaza where the prices are a lot better, as is the service, if you want some food. Plaza Coll is much nicer and feels traditional - and a lot cheaper! More

The restaurants on the square are tourist traps but the tacky acts on the square are ok. Your best bet is heading toward the less touristy areas between placa coll which is the square nearby and placa sa gerreria. The shops there are creative and orginal or just unsual traditional institutions hidden from toursits. More

As per many of the Beaches in this part of Mallorca there are steps to the beach. Note this if you have difficulty walking. Lovely beach but the high street does not offer much in the way of qaulity food or trendy bars. More

This Plaza is not as large or as beautiful as some in Spain like Madrid and Salamanca but well worth the walk to see it. There are restaurants and places for a drink to sit and enjoy the surrounding buildings and activity. Often time there is entertainment also in one or the other corners of the plaza. More

This is a beautiful square to walk around and admire. The street entertainment going on is so good keeping adults and children amused. Restaurants however are a rip off. Having eaten here in the past we would never do it again preferring to walk a short distance and paying much less. There are a number of stalls selling hand made... More

Interesting courtyard. Would have been nicer if 4 different restaurant touts had not set upon us as we entered. My advice if to keep walking and stop for a coffee a little further on, we found a great little bagel shop about 20 meters towards the cathedral on the left side. More
