Petite, sea-splashed, party-loving Palma is one of Europe's most underrated capitals. For a city of its size, its sights play in the premier league with major metropolises. Take its immense Gothic cathedral, moored like the prow of a great ship on the Mediterranean's edge. Or its astounding galleries: fortified Es Baluard with its Mirós and Picassos, and Museu Fundació Juan March with its Dalís and Barcelós are just tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. In the labyrinthine backstreets of Old Palma, medieval palaces jostle for space with patrician mansions that hide some of Spain's most beautiful inner courtyards.
If the sights don't grab you, the soulful sea views, fabulous food and happening bar scene surely will. Need a breather? Within minutes you can be at a hilltop castle, on a vintage train rattling through the mountains or stretched out on a beach, which means Palma is permanently switched on relaxed mode.
The broad Badia de Palma stretches east and west away from the city centre. Some of the island’s densest holiday development is to be found on both sides, but the beaches, especially to the west, are quite striking in spite of the dense cement backdrop.
