Family trip to Palma de Mallorca 🗺️

#familytime Palma de Mallorca is a fantastic destination for a family trip! We spent a week exploring this beautiful city, and there was something for everyone. The Cathedral of Santa Maria, also known as La Seu, was our first stop. The architecture is stunning, and for around €8 per person, it’s well worth the visit! The kids were amazed by the sheer size of the cathedral, and the views from the terraces were incredible. We also took a walk along the seafront promenade, where the kids loved watching the boats in the marina. Nearby, you can visit the Palma Aquarium (€25 for adults, €14 for kids), which was a huge hit with our little ones. The underwater tunnel and interactive exhibits kept them entertained for hours. We spent our afternoons at the beach, just a short drive from the city center. The water is crystal clear, and the sandy shores are perfect for families. Plus, there are plenty of family-friendly restaurants nearby to grab a bite. Overall, Palma is an ideal mix of culture, relaxation, and fun for all ages. #FamilyTravel #PalmaDeMallorca #LaSeu #MallorcaBeaches #TravelWithKids #MediterraneanVibes

The Parma Cathedral.

Marvel at such architecture This place is magnificent This area is very beautiful With these red stones I recommend you visit if you have time This cathedral is very grand It holds many treasures that are difficult to discover individually Especially noteworthy are the splendid stained glass windows and rose windows A good place for quiet and inner peace This visit is worth it Many small chapels reflect the splendor of the clergy The colorful stained glass windows add dignity to the entire structure You can see more intense colors The nave floating above the altar has a certain charm Gaudí's church design Greatly admired by visitors👍🏻

Trip to Mallorca 🇪🇸

It was a short vacation to Mallorca. We visited La Seu (Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma) when we first reached. This Gothic cathedral, also known as La Seu, was built on the site of a pre-existing Arab mosque. The construction began in 1229 and continued for centuries. 📍Plaça de la Almoina, s/n, 07001 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain 💰 €8 We then explored the Almudaina Palace. The Royal Palace of La Almudaina is an impressive fortification built in the 13th century. 📍Carrer del Palau Reial, s/n, 07001 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain 💰 Around €7 If you love seafood like me, I would recommend you to check out the Ca'n Eduardo.

It was very delicious and we all love it 😍 💰Around €40-€50 per person 📍 Muelle de la Lonja, s/n, 07012 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain We also visited the Valldemossa Charterhouse.

Majorca, Mallorca, surprisingly aesthetic!

Stayed in Palma Mallorca with a friend. Walked for a nearby dinner at Beewei which was SENSATIONAL- the beef cheeks cannelloni was one of the tastiest dishes I have ever had. Walked to the esplanade to get gelato from Riverside and it was amazing. Vibes everywhere, arty and clean city. Very surprising as expected cheap party centric places but it was classy and nice. Buskers in the square added to the vibe 🇪🇸🏝️🎶💧 #spain #mallorca #majorca #palma

Iberica Ham

#bucketlistreboot Located inside Palma de Mallorca Airport. Enrique Tomas is the largest ham chain in the world, their stores will find all types of ham available in all possible formats. I had ordered a Paleta 100% Iberica shoulder ham and a beer. The ham tastes juicy with rich well-marbled fat that melts into the mouth. Iberica ham is famous in Spain and Portugal, you must try it when you are here

Cathedral Museum

#bucketlistreboot It is located at Placa de La Seu, s/n 09001 Palma. It is a 230 metres 5 minutes walk from the bus stop. Open Monday to Friday from 1000-1700, Saturday from 1000-1415, closed on Sunday. The museum is located on the ground floor of the Cathedral and occupies the two chapter rooms; the Gothic room built in the 14th century and the Baroque room, which dates back to the 18th century. A collection of Gothic sculptures, paintings and silver smithery as well as Baroque sculptures and silver smithery are very nice and you should not give it a miss. The cathedral museum is on the left hand side just after you have entered from the ticket office.

Port D’Andratx Lighthouse

Port D’andratx is one of the most spectacular ports in Mallorca. The surroundings are stunning with amazing beaches, caves and this lovely lighthouse. Also there are many restaurants and shops. . . . #passionpassport #spain #mallorca #exploring #summervacation #couplestrip #tripaway #tripmoments

Left my heart in Mallorca 🏝

Mallorca islands is one of the best places I’ve been to in Europe, no wonder it attracts 10 million visitors a year!! obviously it helps that Ibiza is one of the islands 😂 You can easily spend 10+ days here relaxing, enjoying water activities, and discover little corners of the islands! We arrived at the Grand Melia Hotel and was immediately welcomed by the vast ocean view. activities: 1. Boat tour + buffet on bard: highly recommend this 3 hour tour with an opportunity to jump into the water when the boat stops at a cove for lunch on board. Its an easy way to hop on and start enjoying the island life. you can buy snorkeling gear for 10 euros onboard if you’d like to take a closer look at the marine life there! 2. Hiking: the island’s unique terrains offer multiple hiking trails at different difficulty levels. We started From Sóller (30 min drive from Palma) and hiked through Fornalux and Biniaraix. 3. Check out small towns: Deià, Valldemossa, Port de Alcudia are all amazing small towns worth visiting with honey-hued brownstone buildings and unique shops and restaurants along the road. 4. Cap de Formentor: this is a famous lighthouse and cape at the edge of the island, you must take a bus at the parking lot in order to get up to the lighthouse. The windy road might make you carsick but the view is absolutely worth it once you get up there. There are so many things to do and never enough time, highly recommend spending your summer here on the beach and in the mountains! Hotels: expensive: Grand Melia Victoria Hotel nice: Innside Hotel budget: Sercotel Hotel Zurbaran #beachlife

Palma de Mallorca is a great place to visit all year round thanks to it’s geographical location in the Balearics, which promises milder weather than continental Spain. Mallorca is extremely popular int the summer. This is when temperatures peak and sea condition are at their best for swimming. However the beaches around the island can get packed with the tourists. #mynovgetaway #spaintravel #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #mynovgetaway#awesomepic#instagramworthydestinations

I visited this place just at the end of the season so instead of beach destination it was a citybreak for me. The city is not that big so is easily explorable by feet. I enjoyed one of the most delicious paella I have ever eaten exactly here at the main square. #happynewyear

✨First sunset and last sunset✨ This spot was so stunning we came back twice to experience it. It was the first place we came on the island and also where we spent our last evening. There is something special about watching the sunset over the ocean while standing on a mountain. Grateful for the lovely beauty of Mallorca, but are excited to journey someplace new! .

Beautiful Mallorca

Went for a little walk into the city centre everyday in Mallorca, such a beautiful picturesque island!

Nobis Palma Hotel.

Located in Spain, this is the third luxury hotel of the Scandinavian Nobis Hotel Group. The history of this building can be traced back to the 12th century, when it was a Muslim palace. Over the long years, it has undergone seven important transformation stages, having been a fortification, a Gothic palace, and a Baroque palace. It is simply a living architectural history book.

Mallorca attraction for tourist

I have a very good time travel to Mallorca. there is so many attraction you can do there. from historic spot around the city center, or watching football match at astadi son moix. Whoever enjoy the beach can take cruise or ferry, watching the sunset or sunrise view and swimming by the mallorca beach, might as well do sports activity also. there is lot of halal food near the beach area, very delicious too.

In love with Mallorca 🥰

#travelgram Mallorca is absolutely stunning! 🏖️ I spent a few days exploring this beautiful island, and it’s one of those places that has a bit of everything. The beaches are, of course, the star of the show—Playa de Palma was my go-to spot, and the water was crystal clear. Cala Figuera, a little more secluded, was like a hidden paradise! No entrance fees for most beaches, which is great for budget travelers like me. I stayed in Palma, the island’s capital, and loved wandering around the Old Town. The Cathedral of Santa Maria (La Seu) is breathtaking, especially at sunset. For a small entrance fee of around €8, it’s totally worth it to see the Gothic architecture up close. You can easily spend an afternoon at the Bellver Castle nearby, with amazing views of the entire island. Mallorca also has a fantastic hiking scene. I took a day trip to the Serra de Tramuntana mountains—such an amazing contrast to the beaches, with lush forests and peaceful trails. Highly recommend renting a bike to explore more of the island’s charm! #MallorcaVibes #BeachesOfSpain #PalmaOldTown #CalaFiguera #SerraDeTramuntana #SpanishIslandLife

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.

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."
