The capital of the island, and indeed the capital of the Balearics is Palma. Founded as a Roman camp known as Palmaria, the fortress city lies to the south east of the island. Picturesque and intriguing, the city’s ancient narrow streets which criss-cross the old town are best enjoyed on foot, whilst the wide boulevards and avenues, beckon with welcoming tavernas, restaurants, bars and boutique shops. Palma is partly dominated by its Cathedral, known locally as La Seu, an architectural wonder which took almost 400 years to build. The Cathedral is renowned for its extremely wide nave and asymmetrical canopy, wonderfully lit against the night sky. Palma also has a glamorous marina where luxury cruise liners, traditional sailing boats and imposing, elaborate super yachts can be admired gently bobbing to the rhythm of the crystal blue Mediterranean waves.
Mallorca has diverse geography for an island of its size, with two mountainous regions around 70km in length occupying north-west and eastern regions of the island. The north eastern corner of the island is home to picturesque sweeping bays, including the Badia de Pollensa and the larger Badia d’Alcudia. This coastline has many picturesque beaches and several rugged coves and rock formations that strut grandly into the warm Mediterranean Sea. The northern coastline is similarly rugged and has many cliffs with pleasant vistas.
Mallorca enjoys a pleasant mix of cuisine and there is a wealth of superlative tavernas and restaurants in which to enjoy it whilst sipping a glass of Spanish wine. With a continental climate, sun-kissed beaches and picturesque landscapes, Mallorca is an ideal location for a memorable and rejuvenating villa vacation.
