Field notes
Capital of Mallorca and the largest city in the Balearic Islands. Santa Catalina (the converted-fishing-village creative quarter), Old Town (the medieval Cathedral district), and El Terreno (the residential anchor) are the typical nomad neighborhoods. Same Spanish DNV (€2,762/mo income, 1-year + 3-year extension). The structural draws are the genuinely-Mediterranean-island setting at full Spanish-DNV infrastructure, year-round-mild climate (sea swimmable May–October), and Palma de Mallorca Airport's deep European connectivity (200+ direct routes).
