A: I consider myself a citizen of the world in constant search of the best places to live. I have lived in different cities, including San Sebastian in the Basque Country and since 2016 I live in Palma de Mallorca. They are 2 of the most beautiful cities in Spain with a good and dynamic real estate market.

These ones and other opportunities that were not materialized have given to me the necessary experience to help people in the housing search & purchase process while saving them from the common but not cheap mistakes.
Q: Why have you focused your professional career on the real estate business?
A: Mainly because I think that my skills can be best used to help people

Q: What are the best areas to live in Mallorca?
A: It would be difficult to identify 3 or 4 areas in Mallorca to live in , as the island itself is a paradise on all four sides.
It is a large island and therefore offers many alternatives, depending on what is sought, the options can be city, beach, mountain, inland towns, large urbanizations, luxury complexes, a kaleidoscope of options to each better.
The city of Palma itself already offers a wide variety of sites to choose from, and as a big city it has all kinds of leisure services
Q: What are the services that these areas have?
A: It depends, it’s not the same level of services in a big city, as an interior town or a coastal area.
General services such as hospitals, schools, citizen attention offices, shopping centers, are mainly located in Palma and its surroundings.
Although, in other medium-sized population centers, such as Inca, Manacor, Alcudia, Calvia, Pollensa … they have sufficient services for day-to-day life too.
If you finally decide to live in coastal or interior area with lower population density, you will have to move a little bit to find these services, but be careful as in certain areas, the seasonality caused by tourism, can make many of the services offered in summer, will not be available during winter time.
