Why go
Start at CaixaForum Palma to see how Modernisme transformed a former hotel into one of the city’s most distinctive interiors. Walk through Can Balaguer and Casal Solleric for domestic architecture and rotating exhibitions, then continue to Es Baluard for contemporary art within Palma’s fortifications. Joan Miró’s studios lie farther west and require transport, so give them the longest visit and omit Casal Solleric if the day begins late. The progression moves from city-center design to art made in Mallorca rather than merely displayed there.
