when going to a shop or restaurant, always start with HOLA instead of Hello, you will get better service. It's also good to learn some spanish and try to speak it, they might speak English to you back, but they do appreciate the effort you've made!!
BY Train

If you want to go from Palma to Soller there is an amazing way to go: by a traditional train, it seems that is like 100 years ago. It is an unforgettable trip along several tunnels. The view along the way is astonishing. You must try for sure!
La Seu Cathedral
by Fam_Stoica
The La Seu Cathedral was erected between 1230-1601 on the site of an existing Arab mosque.
The legend : in 1229, as the king Jaime I was on his way to recapture Mallorca, his fleet was struck by a terrible storm; he vowed to the Virgin Mary that if he survived the storm, he would erect a church in her honor. After the storm had blown over, finding himself safe and sound, he immediately undertook the project.
Designed in the French Gothic style, the cathedral is 121 meter long and 55 meter wide. The main body of the church is set in the middle of a mass of pillars and spires, behind which lies the strong buttress reinforced with a double row of flying arches. The bell tower, still unfinished today, is 52 meter high. The main facade, which overlooks the Almudaina Palace, collapsed during an earthquake in 1851 and was later completely reconstructed, with the exception of the Renaissance-era door which miraculously emerged unscathed.
The vast, airy interior is striking for its large-scale harmonious proportions. It features three naves resting on 44-meter tall octagonal pillars, eight chapels each side of the nave.
Valldemosa
by German_Girl
Located at 410 m height in the north-western part of Mallorca, you find the romantic village of Valldemosa where Frederic Chopin and Georg Sand spent some days in the winter of 1839. You don't wanna miss this place on your hot spot list.
