In Palma de Mallorca, sunset shifts between northwest in summer and southwest in winter.
The hills to the northwest of Palma can bring the visible sunset slightly earlier than the official time from low-lying central positions. Bellver Castle and elevated western viewpoints clear these obstructions and extend the sunset window.
Best viewing is 15–25 minutes before sunset. The Cathedral lit by the last western light, viewed from the waterfront to the east, produces one of Palma's most recognisable evening compositions.
Palma sunset shifts northwest in summer and southwest in winter, changing which hillside and western coastal positions align most directly with the setting sun.
Bellver Castle sits on a pine-covered hill above the city with a 360-degree panorama and an unobstructed western horizon over the bay. The Paseo Marítimo waterfront is a more accessible ground-level option with the Cathedral as backdrop.
