Best of Palma

Begin with a scenic drive to Bellver Castle, a rare circular fortress offering commanding views over Palma and its harbour. From the ramparts, take in sweeping panoramas of the city and coastline.

Pause at a welcoming local café to enjoy a takeaway hot chocolate paired with Mallorca’s signature ensaimada pastry – a sweet taste of island tradition.

Continue to the striking La Seu Cathedral, Spain’s second-largest Gothic church. Its soaring spires and monumental buttresses dominate the seafront, a masterpiece begun in the 13th century and completed over three centuries.

On the return journey, admire the stately Almudaina Palace, once the residence of Moorish kings and later Mallorca’s royal home.
