Answer

Which parts of Palma are often seen as more local and everyday, rather than tourist-only?

Santa Catalina is often associated with local markets, neighbourhood life and a busy food scene that still feels rooted in daily routines. Portixol has a more seaside feel, with fishing boats and evening walks that reflect a slower rhythm. These areas are part of the everyday Mallorca many residents recognise, not just a postcard version of the island.
