Palma becomes a cultural and business hub

Trendy districts in the Mallorcan capital include Monti-Sion and Santa Catalina. The old town remains permanently popular together with Portixol.

Maxi Kümpel and Kent Steinbach – a portrait of our franchise partners Palma West

This is confirmed by her partner Kent Steinbach, a successful restaurateur from Düsseldorf who was co-owner and manager of '' Mojito's Fine Cocktailbar '' in Düsseldorf's ...
