Top Things to do in Balearic Islands
The 10 Best History Museums in Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands
The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

SO worth the flight from Exeter for a quick birding break. An easy, 2.65 euro bus trip from Porto Pollensa, a soft and sandy walk along the beach from Can Picafort, and up into the garrigue landscape, home of countless warblers and other firsts for me, like the vicious and beautiful woodchat shrike, pied flycatcher, whinchat, and Sardinian warbler. Hot sun, cool breeze, aqua sea, precious little flowers at the feet...heaven. Particularly appreciated the simple and foolproof markers pointing the way for geographically-challenged idiots like me. Didn't want to leave.

The palace, which faces the Cathedral of Ciutadella, has been recently restored by the owner, the last descendants of the noble Olivar family. It is a must for those who wish to learn how the aristocratic families were living in the old capital of Menorca. The family still lives in the palace, but most of it can be visited. The visitors will enjoy amazing rooms with frescos, paintings, furniture and objects from the old times. In the cellar, the family found a cave with original bottles of wine from the XVIII century, many of them which are still sealed. The visitor will also find the original book that an ancestor of the Olivar family wrote containing the details about the negotiations from releasing the 3000 captive citizens of Ciutadella who were kidnapped by the Turks in 1558 to be sold as slaves on the market of Constantinople.

A royal palace has stood on this site since soon after the Arab conquest.

I visited Palma at the end of February and between being a weekend, Carnival, crazy hours or simply not available many attractions were closed. This one was not closed and it has good long hours regardless of the day of the week or the season. For me, based on availability and content, this was the best the see in Palma. Other places, like the Cathedral is has short hours allowed for visiting or others like the Arab Baths are overrated. Make this your priority, it makes sense, it is beautiful inside-out!
7. Torre de Canyamel

A symbol of our heritage. Its impressive gothic style architecture and its particular features make this building one of the most outstanding in Europe and unique in Majorca. Strong and proud, The Torre de Canyamel reopened its doors in 2009 to offer the visitor a wide range of cultural events in an amazing setting: a permanent historical museum, an art exhibition centre, and an exceptional venue for music concerts and performances ... a unique place for receptions and events.

We nearly missed this which would have been a real pity because it was fascinating - recreated casement, fitted out, info boards (assorted languages), olive press and videos to show how (though need to be lucky you don’t watch a boring bit -needs editing), and excellent value at 3euros.
