Weekend breaks in wet T.shirt capital

The capital of Mallorca, Palma has often been undersold as the city all the coaches go through on their way to the package holiday resorts. But Palma has much more to offer the discerning traveller.

A millionaire's playground since the 1930's, Palma has long been a favourite of royalty and Hollywood stars attracted by its old time glamour and prestigious buildings. The dramatic coastal scenery and imposing Gothic cathedrals make a Palma a picture perfect backdrop for romantic walks and evening drinks in the terrace.

As a busy working city Palma has all the shops, cafes, bars and restaurants befitting a cosmopolitan haunt; but the fascinating nautical history and surrounding picturesque mountain villages offers the holiday visitor something a little bit extra from the round of eating out and shopping.
