breathtaking. a must too see. beautiful

Gothic castle, circular in shape and the only one of its kind (XVI century). Located on a hill overlooking the city of Palma, the fortress has sweeping views over the bay. The ground floor houses the city's History Museum, with exhibits from archaeological excavations, and the Cardinal Despuig Collection.

This is a fantastic, historical trainline with a wonderfully nostalgic feel. Expensive but worth it. It cost €54 for a family of four (no charge for our four year old though) to get from Palma to Söller -NO RETURN However, the train itself has the beautiful 'clackety-clack' noise as it trundles through the stunning scenery. The tunnels are exciting and the views are amazing. Some of the carriages are open to the elements so consider the weather when planning your visit. Top tip: We ended up getting the bus back to Palma which cost €12 for all of us.

Kan anbefale en tur til gamlebyen i Alcudia. Butikkene er veldig fint laget i samme stil som byen. Vil du oppleve god is så er turen innom Sa Gelateria De Alcudia et must. Utrolig stilig interiør og atmosfære. Det er tett med butikker og restauranter som kjemper om kundene. Det går mest i suvenirer, sommerklær, sko, sjal, vesker, hatter etc.

This fortified castle, in excellent condition, with its Chapel dedicated to Our Lady 'de l'Esperanza', the 'sa Vetlla' watch tower and the house of the governor, dates from the XIV century. While in Capdepera, you can also visit the talayot settlement of 'Es Claper des Gegant' which is very close to Canyamel Golf Club.

One of the few archaeological buildings dating from the times of Moorish rule in the Balearic Islands. Interesting circular room with columns, used for steam baths.

The great arch we can now see above the pond dates back to the old docks of the Muslim period which existed beneath the palace of La Almudaina, opening directly out into the sea. The arch is thought to date back to the 11th century. S'Hort del Rei was a medieval garden lying outside of the walls of La Almudaina which survived until the 19th century, when it was developed. At the beginning of the 14th century, during the reign of King James II of Mallorca, it enjoyed an age of splendour and was planted with fruit trees, flowers and vegetables. Some animals were also bred there, such as rabbits. In the 1960s, as part of the redevelopment plan for the area surrounding the palace of La Almudaina, the buildings that remained standing were demolished in order to create new gardens with a historicist feel, designed by the Mallorcan architect Gabriel Alomar. This architect combined traditional elements of the Mallorcan garden, such as the pergola, with others with an Andalusian influence, such as the artificial pond, with fountains reminiscent of the Generalife. It has to be said that this new layout has little in common with the medieval garden. The current avenue Antoni Maura coincides with what was the mouth of the water course of Sa Riera, which flowed down the Rambla, calle Unión and Borne, and divided Palma into "vila de dalt" or the old city (the cathedral side) and "vila de baix" or the lower city (the side with the districts of Sant Jaume and Santa Creu). Sa Riera was dangerous because of flooding. The flood that occurred in 1403 is notorious, causing thousands of people to lose their lives. The water course was diverted outside of the city walls for urban planning purposes in 1612, and today runs down the paseo de Mallorca.

to see the archaduke you have to pay 4eur for entrance to museum, little garden and archduke together. But there is also a viewpoint right next to it for free. You will not see the arch, but it is still amazing.
