The 7 Best Castles in Majorca, Balearic Islands

May 14, 2022 Trinity Boughner

The dreamy island that provided inspiration to Chopin and Miró now has a reputation as a spring break beach destination. Don't worry, though, if you're vacationing over elementary school spring break-- there's plenty for the younger crowd. Marineland's dolphin and sea lion shows and children's beach attract families. And if you have a Thomas-obsessed toddler, the antique train that travels between Palma and Soller is a must-see.

Make sure you park on the way up, no need to go all the way to the restaurant. The walk is for prepared walkers or allow a lot of time, its a steady climb up the mountain with plenty of places to rest, when you eventually make it to the top there is bar, small cafe up there and when you see the views you will see it was all worthwhile, just avoid the restaurant on the way down, not what it used to be at all but the mountain, the castle, YES and the views WOW!

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!
