From Palma the route follows the fine new road to the airport and then continues through the resorts on the Playa de Palma. At El Arenal the road turns inland and comes to the market town of Lluchmayor (Majorcan Llucmajor), which owes its prosperity to the shoemaking industry. Northeast of the town in 1349 was fought the battle in which the
Majorcan king Jaime III was defeated by his cousin Pedro IV of Aragon; Jaime lost his life and Majorca lost its independence.
From Lluchmayor an excursion can be made to the Puig de Randa.
