Ciutadella
A taste of former times with fine old spanish palaces, moorish influences, a wonderful old centre and a charming little harbour. Ciutadella was the original capital of the island lying at the western edge of the island looking out to its bigger neighbour Mallorca. A superb contrast to the beach and holiday resort. Great atmosphere and shopping and a place to wander the pedestrianised old city and its many narrow streets with hidden shops and Cafe treats. Also competes with Mahon for the title of the best music bars and venues on the island. The scene for the spectacular Sant Joan festival in June, when stunning native black horses parade through the streets and the brave try to "touch the horses' heart" as it rears in front of them.
There is a diverse set of Cafes, Bars and Restaurants for various tastes. Live music acts feature at 'The Square' aka Jimmy Hills. Karaoke and Bingo. Local Ciutadella provides city nightlife.
For, some might say 'more sophisticated' evening entertainment visit Ciutadella where there is a whole palette of Bars,Garden Lounges , Live music which can be found in the most surprising of tiny alleyways and hidden spaces in the lovely old city centre. The buzziest ares is reserved for the Bars and dance clubs located all together down in the Pla de Sant Joan area of the old harbour . Open open air terrace areas where you can chat and cool down / relax under the stars.
TIP Want to visit a Club or Music bar in Ciutadella ? Don't forget you are on Spanish time, nothing starts to happen until after 11 pm as people will have eaten 'late'. Go much later and then it will be buzzing.
