Ciutat Jardí
Ciutat Jardí is situated at five kilometres east from Palma, next to Fortí Torre d'en Pau, a construction which was finished in 1898 in order to defend the bay of Palma from a possible attack by the USA because of the Cuba's war.
The name comes from one of the developers who wanted to construct a touristic resort of luxury style nearby Palma at the end of the 20th century, and in 1922 the Hotel Ciudad Jardín, in neoarab modernist style, which is still operating.
The beach is sandy, with little waves, gentle slope and it has on both sides some breakwaters with cylindrical position towers. At some hundred metres you will see in the water some sheltering breakwaters which reduce the swell.
Every day this sandy area has a massive influx of families and tourists. The most attractive is the easy accessibility and the very good bathing conditions for small children. You can park for free near the beach. The next bus stop is at half a kilometer and there is a cycling lane.
The water of Ciutat Jardí is good for anchoring if the navigator keeps a reasonable distance from the coast because it is not very deep. The nearest port facilities are located at Club Nàutic Cala Gamba, at 0,6 nautical miles.

Municipality information Palma
The municipality of Palma is situated in the southwest of Majorca, and it is the most important municipality in population. The city of Palma is the political, administrative and business centre of the Balearic archipelago. The service sector, tourism and construction lead the economy since the sixties of the 20th century. Quinto Cecilio Metelo founded Palma in 123 BC after conquering Majorca for Rome in order to definitely control the Mediterranean basin. Medina Mayurqa, the Arab name of Palma, was integrated in the omeyan state of Al-Andalus at the beginning of the 10th century. The Christian king Jaume I d'Aragó conquered the island on the 31st of December 1229, calling it Ciutat de Mallorques. In 1230 it became the capital of the Regne de Mallorca.

This municipality is irrigated beach some torrents that flow into the sea on its coast, with Torrent de sa Riera flowing through the city centre.
