Palma de Mallorca

Palma welcomes you with the silhouette of La Seu, its Gothic cathedral by the sea, and an old town of stately courtyards, alleyways and terraces where time stands still. But Mallorca is much more: the Tramuntana mountains, a World Heritage Site, string together stone villages such as Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller, linked by a century-old wooden train, while the coast hides some of the most beautiful coves in the Mediterranean, from Cala Mondragó to Es Trenc.

Market cuisine, freshly baked ensaimadas, cove after cove by boat and a network of roads and beaches perfect for exploring by car make Palma the most complete island destination. With dozens of daily flights from Madrid and a resident discount for those living on the islands, it is the easiest sun-and-beach getaway of the year.
