Travel blog - Tips to explore the world on a budget: Palma de Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain's Balearic Islands, blends impressive Gothic architecture with Mediterranean beach life along one of Europe's most scenic waterfronts. The towering La Seu Cathedral, one of the world's tallest Gothic buildings, stands out on the seafront, while narrow medieval streets lead through the Old Town past ancient Arab baths, baroque palaces, and modernist buildings. In addition to its historic sites, Palma features lively markets, great tapas bars, beautiful beaches, and a dining scene that mixes traditional Mallorcan dishes with modern Mediterranean flavors.
