In Palma de Mallorca, sunrise shifts between northeast in summer and southeast in winter.
Central Palma is relatively low-lying with few significant obstructions to the east. Portixol and the eastern bay beaches offer direct sea horizons with minimal urban obstruction.
Best viewing is 10 minutes before sunrise to 25 minutes after. The early light catches Palma Cathedral from the water in a way that is largely gone by mid-morning — the eastern waterfront is worth being early for.
