When you sell, or buy property in Spain, you will come across words that are used extensively and which could be good to master. Below you will find a selection of the ones that we think are the most important to know. Catastro – The Cadastre is an entity attached to the Ministry of Finance. This body functions as the administrative registry of each and every property in Spain. The Cadastre would be used to indicate the indications of any property, but cannot confirm the ownership of this. The main function is to act as a base for taxes such as IBI, Inheritance and Gift Tax or Transfer Tax. Registro de la Propiedad – The Land Registry is an entity attached to the Ministry of Justice.

The small village of Galilea is beautifully situated in the mountains in the southeast of Mallorca, between Puigpunyent and Capdellá. The village breathes a unique tranquility and the view is, to say the least, impressive from its 460 m above sea level. From here you can see the sea and the mountain Galatzo in the background. The roads that take us to this picturesque village are small, curvy and despite the isolated and quiet location, the distance to Palma is only 18 km. About 300 people live in Galilea, many of them foreigners. The surrounding mountains are popular hiking trails and many stop in Galilea after the hikes to eat or to have something to drink. The cyclists who are brave enough to challenge the curvy […]

When summer arrives, one of the best options is to approach the beach, enjoy the sun and the sea and, if possible, have a drink on the beach. Mallorca has a wide range of beach bars, the so called “chiringuitos” where you can have a snack, munch something or even enjoy haute cuisine. Here are some of our tips: Il Chiringo Il Chiringo, located in Palmanova and its cool chilled-out atmosphere offers very good food and an excellent service. This place gets crowded especially during weekend nights in summer when they have a DJ in place. Cala Sa Nau Cala Sa Nau is the name of the beach bar located right on the soft sand of the small bay with the very same name, between Porto Colom and Cala d’Or. On the menu, […]
