Spend your leisure time on an island where everything around you is beautiful. If you want the vast sand, crystal clear sea water, beautiful nature around, enough avenues for water sports, places to dine and chat savoring the tasty traditional food and tasty wine; then just go to Palma de Mallorca. This is an island of the Mallorca province. Remember, this beautiful island has many more things to offer; beautiful coves, cathedrals, places to play and what not.

Let us just start our tour immediately. We are now in Placa d’Espanya. Oh! This is not a park. This is the Palma’s transport hub. Here you are connected by bus and trains. The two old buildings you see on either side are the café and the tourist information centre. There are large escalators. Just down below the lawn is the railway station. Of course the bus station is partially operational and it will be fully functional in just a short period of time.

Now we are in La Seu cathedral. The mosque which then existed in the place was converted to a cathedral in the year 1229 but unfortunately the work could not be completed till 1601. It was Gaudi who made some alterations and gave the cathedral the beautiful look which it has today. The park located near the cathedral has foundation stone of the city. In between these two, walls have been constructed which are called as ‘Town walls’. The town walls have a huge canopy which is decorated with blue and yellow diamonds. Perhaps one would feel a dearth of words to explain the beauty of this canopy.

Now we are in the old city. There is an adage ‘old is gold’; that is certainly true of Palma. As you drive across the old city, you will find beautiful buildings and arches on either side of the beautifully laid out roads. It is a pleasure to drive on these roads and a pleasure to watch these buildings. These buildings have diverse architectural beauty. The old city also has some ancient cathedrals, convents, parks, etc.

Now we are in the area where some of the monuments belonging to Moorish period have been preserved. The Arab bath for example, attracts a large number of visitors. There is a beautiful garden just by the side of the Arab bath. This Arab bath seems to have been planned very well. Enough space has been provided for light and air. Historians say that this Arab bath has been built in the 11th century.
