Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca

Situated in the Western Mediterranean, the island's famous capital is one of the best-preserved cities in Europe with a historical centre reflecting the art and architecture of many cultures. In the streets of Palma's old town you can still find Roman influences dating back a thousand years, a winding labyrinth with beautiful churches and traditional buildings.  Diverse styles merge together in many buildings. During renovation work Gothic archways, foundations of the former Roman wall and evidence of Muslim and Jewish cultures were uncovered.  Grand houses with impressive interiors line the alleyways and can be glimpsed from the many tranquil courtyards around the city. The perfect holiday destination, Palma offers history and culture as well as a huge selection of traditional and contemporary cafes, bars, and restaurants and some great shopping.
