Paseo Marítimo

The Paseo Marítimo, officially Avenida de Gabriel Roca, is a major waterfront promenade in Palma de Mallorca, the capital of the Balearic Islands. Named after Gabriel Roca, the engineer who led the harbor project from 1940 to 1962 and was instrumental in promoting the construction of the avenue, the route stretches 5,500 meters through the southern part of the city. It connects the Ma-19 and Ma-1 roads and passes through the neighborhoods of Playa de Palma, Levante, and Poniente, as well as several adjacent districts such as El Jonquet and Portopí. As the main seaside thoroughfare, the promenade gives you a direct link between the city's various neighborhoods and the harbor.
