The exhibition, which is created and organised by Pilar Negredo, has been running since 1987 and is hugely popular.
Palma Fotogràfica challenges amateur photographers to expose the charm of the Balearic capital through the lens and although there were fewer participants this year because of the pandemic, more than 200 people took to the streets on February 14 and came back with some stunning images.
The best of the best are showcased in the exhibition along with a sample of photos of empty streets, closed bars and restaurants and several images reflecting the slow heartbeat of the city in these difficult times.
