Palma, the capital of the Spanish island of Majorca, is a chic city that has developed into a must-visit destination for those seeking sun, sea, style and sights. A city that was once overlooked in favour of generic beach resorts further along the coast is now having a real moment of its own.
Everyone from foodie fanatics to history lovers will be enthralled by Palma’s character and culture. It really is the perfect place to spend long afternoons strolling in the sun and savouring Spanish flavours in pavement cafés.
Palma’s architecture is truly striking so exploring buildings such as the Catedral-Basílica de Santa María, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the Castle of Bellver are a must. Not only do these stunning buildings offer great photo opportunities, but they also give travellers a real insight into the history of the island, from the Moors to modern day. Plus, the town and harbour are dotted with gently swaying palm trees and are usually doused with Spanish sunshine making any Spring/Summer visit simply spectacular!
From Old Town charm and cool cafés, to modern museums and Michelin-starred dining, Palma really does have something for everyone.
