Must see:
Hold your breath, look up and check out the astonishing vaulted ceiling of La Seu, aka Palma Cathedral, which as well as being stunningly beautiful, also offers a break from the Balearic heat...
Must eat at:
Culture vultures should head for Es Baluard in the Placa Porta Santa Catalina for a modernist makeover of Mallorcan specialities in the refined environs of a contemporary art museum.
Must be there for:
The Nit de Foc – or Night of Fire – celebrating the Feast of St Joan every June, kicks-off Mallorca’s summer of fiestas in no uncertain style, courtesy of massive bonfires and amazing fireworks.
Well-travelled tips:
- For a historic spot right in the middle of Palma, stop off at the Palacio Ca Sa Galesa, a converted manor house with just a dozen bedrooms and a roof terrace where you can take in not only the nearby cathedral but the yachts in Palma harbour. Bliss.
- Get your bearings courtesy of the open-top Palma City Sightseeing bus which comes with a 24 hour ticket that enables you to hop on and off as often as you like.
