10 good restaurants in el arenal

El Arenal is today one of the most famous and visited neighborhoods on the south coast of Palma de Mallorca. In other words; is in fashion. Formerly it was a town of fishermen and quarry workers, a very pure, humble and traditional population, located in a border area located just between Llucmajor and Palma. But over time it was absorbed by the big city in its growth process, thanks mainly to construction and the subsequent tourist boom.

It is currently one of the most popular areas for tourists and visitors from all over the world, seduced by its relaxed, holiday atmosphere, by its beach and by the activities that can be carried out both day and night along the promenade and its adjoining streets.

El Arenal stands out for its wide range of consumption: there we find shops, restaurants, markets, cinemas, boutiques, supermarkets, pubs … there are always many people on the streets, especially in summer, and a very particular bustling atmosphere.

Visitors to Palma looking for an area where they can eat well and with quality can always explore restaurants in Arenal. There is a variety and food for all tastes, taking into account that the public is very cosmopolitan: we find Italian, American, German, classic Spanish or Indian restaurants among others.

It has a large area and a temperate climate all year round, so there are always people practicing sports.

Walking along the promenade quietly, looking at the shops and eating something in the restaurants in El Arenal, to finally have a drink on a terrace is one of the best plans we can come up with this tourist season.
