Top Things to do in Palma de Mallorca
Top 10 Historic Sites in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands
Palma, the economic and cultural hub of Majorca, is a delightful base for exploring the island's many gold and white beaches. A former Moorish casbah, or walled city, Palma's Old Town is an appealing maze of narrow streets that are a delight to explore on foot. Hop on the Soller Railway for a 17-mile scenic trip, visit 14th-century Bellver Castle and the museum of contemporary art, and check out the nightlife.

Already last year we came here after we read about the Convento de Santa Clara in a guide book. The church is dark, with old paintings at the walls- peaceful and spiritually. As far as I read, the community of nuns is very small and they live from things that they plant in their gardens behind, which aren'topen for guests, from donations and the sweets that they sell. Sadly I've not been there around christmas, when they offer even more things. But all around the year, one can buy selfmade chocolate bars and cookies. Now in summertime, they also sold ice cream. It's just a nice experience the way how you buy the things, as the nuns don't show themselves. Who loves quiet special places should defenitely go there!

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!

They say that this bullring is older than the Colosseum. You can walk around it on the white and blue tiles (very well done, but did not find out id this is a renovation.) Concrete seating all around. Find a spot and image a full house and watching the bull fights. What a sight that would be. What a pity that they only do it a few times a year. It may come down to animal cruelty these days, but it would have been a sight to see. The complex has ben restored and looks magnificent. I heard they also have concerts here. Must see place.

Shopping trip into Palma my wife took up residence in ZARA. I took up residence in Casal Solleric next door. Nice seat outside people watching sipping an ice cold beer, beats retail therapy any day!! Really friendly attentive staff, gents, pop in for a little bit of sanctuary when being dragged around the shops on holiday. Small beer and a glass of prosecco just €10.00.
