The next destination on the blog trip itinerary was Majorca’s main hub, Palma City. En route from Magaluf we stopped off in Palma Nova, but it was all too similar to the previous day’s attractions so we were keen to move on and sample a bit more Majorcan culture.
Palma city is a beautiful place. It oozes class with ornate, pink/orange stone buildings, small parks and pretty plazas. For a place just to stroll around, take in the world and relax it’s hard to find any better. But there’s more to it that just parading the streets and topping up your caffeine levels.
After you’ve gawped at the huge array of flash boats in the marina (and wondered when you can have one) you will see the Gothic Cathedral looming over the city. It is a truly magnificent building, not unlike Notre Dame in Paris, and features incredible detail in its stonework. If you manage to make it past the painters, flamenco guitarists and street artists looking to make the most of the tourist interest and get inside, you will find a lavish interior which will impress even the most demanding tastes.
Palma also has its modern attractions, with shopping areas to rival any city. If you’ve seen enough of the old and are ready to invest in something new then there’s plenty to choose from. If you’re in a group with different ideas of a good time then the city certainly caters to a range of tastes.
From then it’s really just a question of when you change from stopping for coffees to stopping for beers! If you feel like resting your legs without taking on fluid then you can hop on an open top bus tour or do it the more traditional way with a horse and carriage. Winding through these narrow streets and terracotta buildings will certainly entertain for a long time and keep you content well into the evening.
