Palma, beautiful Palma! And Santa Catalina - I would move there tomorrow if I could, because it has everything I need to be happy in one area! Several healthy eateries just around the corner from each other, Kundalini yoga studio, lots of super cool bars and cafés, and a vegan supermarket!! - Really - This is the area you want to stay in, or close to in Palma, specially if you are a health freak like me :-) So, let me tell you about my personal faves in this area.

Healthy raw vegan café - Eat like you give a f***
Great raw food café just next to the Santa Catalina Market. Lots of fresh yammi stuff from juices and smoothies to salads, wraps, bowls, sweets etc. etc. They also sell lots of great superfood powders and other "must have" stuff for health freaks :-)
Vegetarian restaurant and spiritual shop
This is a beautiful spacious, open and light restaurant with the most amazing staff ever. They are beaming lights, all of them. The food is healthy, organic, fresh and tasty. They host yoga and other blissful events there and their spiritual shop has lots of nice and interesting products. A definite "must" in Santa Catalina. Oh, I almost forgot - they have a beautiful quiet outdoor seating area too.
