Palma offers 4,606 places at neighbourhood centres

Palma is putting 4,606 places up for grabs across 266 activities when its neighbourhood centres begin their autumn programme in the first week of October. The programme covers 4,613 hours in the first term of the 2026/2027 course. Enrolment opens on 16 and 17 September.

The municipal centres, known locally as casals de barri, will host activities in s'Escorxador, Santa Catalina, Es Jonquet, Camp d'en Serralta, Pere Garau, Son Gotleu, Son Espanyol, Sant Agustí, Son Cladera, Sant Jordi, s'Hostalot and Son Cànaves.

The programme includes visual arts, physical activity, wellbeing, food and health, dance, creativity, children’s and family activities, and crafts. New options include computing, communication and internet sessions, Lindy Hop, family yoga, creative watercolour, natural cosmetics, clothes repairs, ball de bot, sewing, creative embroidery and astronomy.

Full details are available online and at the centres, which offer face-to-face help from 16.30.

Enrolment dates and limits

Registration for s'Escorxador opens at 09.00 on 16 September. Santa Catalina follows at 09.00 on 17 September, while the remaining centres open registration at 17.00 that day.

From 16 to 21 September, each person can register for only one activity at one centre. From 10.00 on 22 September, further registrations can be requested at more than one centre if places remain.

The City Council of Palma says online registration is preferred, but centres will help people who have difficulty completing the process online.

Two euros per session

Activities cost two euros per session. A 100 per cent reduction remains available for people receiving the minimum insertion income, guaranteed social income, non-contributory pensions or the minimum living income, as well as women referred by social services as victims of gender-based violence.

Discounts also apply to under-26s, unemployed people, people with disabilities and other groups. Spanish and Catalan classes for foreigners and digital literacy activities retain their reductions.

Palma has 35 neighbourhood centres. Centres without a municipal programme are run by local associations, which organise their own activities and registrations. The council is also working on new centres in Génova, Es Pil·larí, Establiments, Can Pastilla and the former Metropolitan cinemas.
