A Mediterranean paradise island that will make you fall in love instantly.

Mallorca, Spain is a Mediterranean paradise island that will make you fall in love instantly. For centuries, it has attracted artists and cultural masters from around the world with its unique charm, and even became the summer palace of the Spanish royal family. George Sand called it "one of the most beautiful places in the world," and Chopin described it in a letter to a friend: "I came to the capital, Palma, and walked among the cedars, cacti, olive trees, orange trees, lemon trees, aloe, fig trees, and pomegranate trees... The sky is like turquoise, the sea is blue, the mountains are like emeralds, the atmosphere is like paradise, the sun shines all day, everyone wears summer clothes, and the weather is hot. For hours at night, I hear the sound of guitars and singing..." Let's take a look at what surprises you can't miss at this must-visit summer destination: Palma Cathedral⛪ (La Seu, p2-3): As a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the cathedral has the largest Gothic rose window in the world and is known as the "Gothic Eye." Bellver Castle🏰 (El Castillo de Bellver, p4-5): This 14th-century castle is one of the few circular castles in Europe and is also a great place to watch the sunset🌅. Santa Catalina District (Santa Catalina, p6-7) 🌆: The local market, Mercado de Santa Catalina, has the freshest fruits and vegetables and authentic food, and is a window to explore local culture and cuisine.

Cathedral de Mallorca

This quaint seaside town is both alluring and traditional in the best way.  The small cobblestone streets are full of delicious tapas restaurants, cozy pubs, and plenty of places to pick up Spanish memorabilia to bring home. We loved the welcoming ambiance at each venue, live music heard throughout the streets, and the vibrant Mercat de L'Olivar food market.  The Catedral-Basilica de Santa Maria de Mallorca is perfect for a sunny day of sightseeing and there is even an on site playground to please your children. Palma de Mallorca is an ideal walking town where you'll discover beautiful architecture and irresistible Spanish charm throughout every street.  Make sure to have plenty of shellfish, delicious ham and local wines and olive oils for a true treat.  A great city for couples or families looking to experience a relaxed side of Spanish culture.
