El Terreno is a neighborhood in the Poniente district of Palma. It is bordered by the sea and the forest of Bellver and the streams Mal Pas and s’Aigo Dolça, the latter underground. It was originally created as a summer residence for the bourgeoisie of Palma in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In the neighborhood also settled people who lived there all year round, and cultural associations such as the Sociedad Instructiva Bellver, which disappeared at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War (1936).

Where the old streets of Génova and Portopí cross – today they are called Robert Graves and Joan Miró – is Plaça Gomila. In the 60s, 70s and 80s it was the center of leisure in the Mallorcan capital, but from the 90s this area experienced a significant decline. Gomila had nightclubs, internationally known discos such as Tito’s, Barbarela or Zhivago. Of these three, only the first one is still open.

The life of the neighborhood still affects the Bellver Forest, the green lung of the city.
