Your flight to Palma takes you to Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, situated in the Mediterranean off of the east coast of Spain. The City of Palma is at the centre of a large bay, and has been inhabited since before Roman times. Take in the Cathedral with its Gaudi interior. Step back in time with a walk along the Paseo Del Borne, one of Palma’s most lively streets, which is flanked by Medieval lanes and elegant Palaces.
A trip on the narrow gauge railway to visit Soller will take you out of the city and over the mountains to a picturesque village. Elsewhere on Mallorcca there are many costal resorts with golden sandy beaches, ideal for a holiday or just a daytrip from Palma.
For food try Pa amb Oli, (the bread and oil speciality), tumbet,or fritas, or lomo con col (succulent pork wrapped in cabbage with a rich tomato and morcilla sauce), topped off with some local Mallorcan wine. |
