Summertime extreme heat and humidity! Where is that sea breeze?
In a nutshell

All the attractions of mainland Spain bundled onto an island
45 Reviews The most accessible from Palma of the many beaches, this is a wide and lively beach. If, for you, the night is so important as the day in the beach, then this may be your option - the other is Magalluf. If you prefer a quiet place, then... skip it, and look a little bit further, in the Calas area.
67 Reviews The Episcopal Palace houses the museum of religious articles. It is located next to the DAli Murada square and close to the bay. There are two floors of items and relics and statuary. There displays are nice presented and many centuries old. They have crypts besides many pieces found in a typical...
19 Reviews The brightly painted and decorated double-decker buses seen in the accompanying picture caught my eye here in Palma just near the Almudaina Palace and Le Seu Cathedral. I saw their counterparts in Barcelona too and I just really liked them. These eye-catching buses known here as the "Palma...
1 Review and 114 Opinions This hotel is located in the old part of town. Not exactly the safest place. But, it was December...
3 Reviews A family run institution which has two big, buzzing restaurants in the small town of Genova, a short taxi ride from the centre of Palma. This is a must visit restaurant. Rustic ambience where you can enjoy well-cooked local dishes. Renowned for their 'Pa amb oli', (toasted bread which you rub with...
15 Reviews There are two places in particular that we frequent during our visits to El Arenal. If you like good drink prices and a lively happy atmosphere with music and dancing. The Bier Koenig and Mega Park are places to visit. Both establishments have a German theme with happy hour specials throughout the...
8 Reviews This is another one of my regular?s. It?s sort of a hihop club with music from r?n?b to reggae. Outside it looks very small and maybe not very appealing but the interior is quite nice. It?s not very big and the air conditioning is not very good. But the atmosphere and the music make up for it. No...
11 Reviews All public transport schedules can be seen at the page http://horariodebus.es It includes bus, train and boat schedules for Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands: Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. All you need to know is from where you start and where you go, travel time and date, press submit and...
10 Reviews Cruise ships make this a spot to stop off for the day, or more. It contributes to the crowds that mas in the old town area. With maybe an average of 4,000-6,000 passengers in town for the day, it fills up the sites to see and restaurants are packed. We had that special experience in La Seu where...
5 Reviews In Mallorca, anything goes. You will see old men at cafes drinking beer at ten in the morning, and young people going home from clubbing at four. There is supposedly a drinking age, but no one seems to abide by it. They are, for the most part, very nice to foreigners, and many of the people living...
2 Reviews This street, storekeeper, is the equivalent of the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. Under the arcades one recovers all stores of luxury and the big dressmakers who settled in Palma. It is therefore there that it is necessary for you to go if you wish to acquire dresses, coats or clothes of couture. It is...
12 Reviews Overall trip to Palma was wonderful. I did catch a fellow with 3 fingers in my right side pocket. I managed to take a picture before he tried to knock my camera away. He's the one on the right, without sunglasses. Amazingly, he walked right by me the next evening in a different part of town. He kept...
2 Reviews From time to time nuclear powered USA Navy aircraftcarriers and nuclear armed submarines anchor in the bay of Palma de Mallorca. This is not very nice (to say the least) as they put in danger local residents and visitors. In the picture you can see local Greenpeace activists trying to prevent the US...
5 Reviews There's some really irritating thing about Mallorca: "People see tourists as walking wallets". There are lots of really hard to reach beaches, that after some almost suicinding driving experiences (throught roads where two cars almost can't pass aside, at the same time in diferent direccions), you...
7 Reviews The Inca Market is something the tourist board advertizes as something to see. We went. It was nothing more than a large flea market at best. Nothing of real interest was sold here - leather purses, kitchenware, t-shirts, underwear, plants, etc. Also, the prices aren't really all that great. The...
4 Reviews Depending on the type of trip you are taking on Mallorca, you should adjust your baggage. If you are only coming on a weekend get-away, a large backpack will definitely hold enough. Otherwise, a suitcase will do. In the summer, you will definitely want to bring your bathing suit! Even in the late...
21 Reviews We found this place while driving up the coastal road to the lighthouse near Cap d'es Pinar (the peninsula opposite Formentor). You can sit in the shade or in the sun and enjoy pizza, seafood dishes, beer, wine, has ice cream all while looking out at the bay, the sailboats, and Formentor. To get...
5 Reviews The village where Georges Sand and Frédéric Chopin transfer to take refuge during their winters. Chopins being sick, the malorcains fearing the contagion, had constantly repulsed the couple of lovers.
26 Reviews - no, is not a mature only place, I would say the contrary - yes, is a hardcore party place, many pubs, discos and bars, open until late night - for sure is not a too quiet place - weather will be great, no rains in september - beach is great for swiming, kyte surf or just walking on the...
33 Reviews Hello there... I´ve seen in forums a very typical question about nice beaches in Palma, near the fun or in the contrary, really lonely and peacefull... here is my tip... Looking for fun? The first place that comes to my mind are the classical Arenal and Magaluff, only 10km from Palma but they are...
