About Son Ferriol
Where to stay in Son Ferriol
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Son Ferriol has few beds of its own. Anyone set on sleeping out here is choosing between the S'Hostalot edge of Son Ferriol and a six-kilometre run back into the centre of Palma, where the borough's hotel stock actually sits. Palma answers most of it.
La Creu Vermella and Son Banya lie alongside, residential and thin on beds.
About Son Ferriol
What are the main landmarks in Son Ferriol?
Son Ferriol keeps its landmarks modest. The names that anchor it are neighbouring settlements rather than monuments: La Creu Vermella on one side, Son Banya on the other, and the small hamlet of S'Hostalot along the town's north-eastern edge. The centre of Palma sits six kilometres off, close enough that the town works as a base rather than a destination.
S'Hostalot is the nearest thing to an outlying quarter.
What is the history of Son Ferriol?
Administration explains more here than chronicle. The town falls within the municipal borough of Palma rather than standing as a municipality in its own right, and the neighbouring names on the map, La Creu Vermella and Son Banya, mark the limits of its ground on Mallorca. S'Hostalot has kept a name of its own.
Where is Son Ferriol?
The town lies between La Creu Vermella and Son Banya, with the hamlet of S'Hostalot at its north-eastern edge.
