Santa Catalina is a picturesque neighborhood in Palma, steeped in history and charm. From quirky cafes to trendy clubs, the social scene is thriving here.
Established as a quaint fishing village, the area retains its old-world charm in a bustling city.
Santa Catalina exudes vibrancy and attracts locals and visitors to its lively streets. It is a culinary oasis where the smell of freshly prepared meat and fish fills the air.
The 'el Tardao' party scene starts on Saturday around 1:30 PM in Santa Catalina in Palma and ends around 9:30 PM.
This vibrant social phenomenon, derived from the Spanish word 'noon', reflects similar traditions in cities such as Madrid and Barcelona. The audience is over 30 and wants to eat, drink, dance and be merry!
Usually the Spanish scene starts late and extends into the early morning hours. But for those who want to party but want to be home by midnight, the afternoon is perfect.
The festivities usually start at the Santa Catalina Market, where the atmosphere starts with drinks and tapas. Furthermore, the bars along Avinguda Argentina have become popular locations to enjoy the lively atmosphere.
When the clock strikes 5 p.m. and the market ends, the group moves to nearby bars and clubs. Entry to clubs is often free and DJs curate playlists tailored to the tastes of the over-30s crowd. Pop, rock and disco hits from the 80s, 90s and 00s fill Santa Catalina's afternoon dance floors.
Tartaro has become a beloved tradition for the locals. People from all walks of life come together for the sense of community, great music and good times. New bars and clubs regularly open their doors for afternoon shopping. The spirit of el Tardoo is flourishing!
