THE CITY
Palma de Mallorca
The city has a great artistic heritage of buildings to visit, with enormous artistic value. Historic La Palma has excellent religious architecture and buildings with beautiful architecture and patios. To this is added the cultural offer with museums and art galleries. If we go up to the highest part of the city we can enjoy attractive shopping streets and we will find bars in any corner to rest from our purchases. Palma is not only a sun and beach destination, but also offers us a cultural and natural heritage that is difficult to match.
The monuments of Palma that you cannot miss are:
Catedral La Seu – Mallorca Cathedral. The jewel
Singular building La Llotja. Majorcan Gothic mercantile building
Singular building Palau Reial de l'Almudaina. A palace with a lot of history.
Singular building Banys à rabs.
Tips practical
If you go by car, it is advisable to park in the Plaça Major car park or in the Parking in front of the cathedral.
– Palma is worth getting lost in its streets. It is not necessary to follow the route that we indicate since each street has its charm, for example, the zone del Born and Jaume II.
– You cannot miss visiting the cathedral of Mallorca.
​
– In Palma you will find many areas to eat and tapas. A very curious corner to have some tapas is the Carrer de la Industria, a square with several rehabilitated windmills in bars-restaurants.
– Another very interesting plan to do is to rent some bicycles to ride along the promenade. We can go along the coast from Palma to the sandbank, passing through Portixol, an old fishing district that still maintains its charm. Here we will find multiple bars with terraces.
NATURE
In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea we find this wonderful island that has it all. In addition to its magnificent beaches and its sun, Mallorca has some beautiful inland agricultural towns full of history and the heritage of Romans, Arabs or Christians. A personal gastronomy that successfully combines products from the land and the sea. A dream place where you can practice water sports, hiking or cycling. An island to enjoy throughout the year.

Mallorca will revolutionize all your senses from the first minute, but there will be one that you will enjoy above the rest: taste. Your palate will fall in love with the fresh and intense flavors of the gastronomy of Mallorca. The traditional recipes together with the natural ingredients of the island give rise to dishes that you will never forget.
All the gastronomy of the island focuses on fresh products from the garden, on the meat of the native pig of the island and on all the fish that come from the sea. Pure Mediterranean diet with a special touch that stands out from the rest. To understand it, you have to try it.
If you are going to visit the island and do not want to miss its true flavor, I present two that we love
Ensaimada
One of the most famous products is the ensaimada. It is undoubtedly the most famous of all the Balearic Islands and not only of Mallorca. It is a pastry with a sweet flavor, which is prepared in the shape of a spiral. It is normally eaten for breakfast, without any type of filling.
Sobrassada
And to finish, another of the most famous products of Mallorca, the sobrassada. Surely you have heard more than once about this product, and you have even tried it in other cities. But none like the Mallorcan sobrassada
