📍 About Mallorca
The largest Balearic island combines turquoise-water coves, the mountainous Serra de Tramuntana, and Palma, a Mediterranean capital with its own character.
🗺️ What to do & see in Mallorca
- ✅Stroll through Palma’s old town, with the cathedral in the background and stone alleys; Santa Catalina market opens from 9 am to 2 pm and the ham stalls cure in silence.
- ✅Boat tour along the west coast, stop at the island of Cabrera for snorkeling among algae and colorful fish; the most reliable departure is at 9:30 am from Palma port.
- ✅Walk the Water Route trail between Sóller and Fornalutx, with its wheat fields and waterfalls; the path becomes cooler in summer, and local cafés offer almond horchata.
- ✅Alternative: Explore the ghost town of Biniali, reachable by off‑road car, where abandoned houses tell stories of 1950s emigration.
- ✅Alternative: Join a ceramics workshop at the Felanitx estate, where local artisans teach you to model the famous "sargó stone". Departure at 5 pm, and they give you a piece at the end.
- ✅Alternative: Take a night stargazing walk in the Llevant mountains, guided by amateur astronomers who know the best viewpoints and bring portable telescopes.

💡 Travel tips for Mallorca
- 💡Palma’s central market opens from 7 am to 10 am; arrive early to snag the day’s fish, and don’t be surprised if vendors give you a tapa of squid.
- 💡In the Serra de Tramuntana, mobile signal drops above 800 m; carry a paper map and a bottle of water, as the afternoon heat hits quickly.
- 💡When you order "sobrasada", ask for the Campos variety; locals sell it in strips and enjoy it with freshly baked bread, a combination you won’t find in supermarkets.
- 💡During high season, book a table at the Port de Sóller area restaurants at least 48 hours in advance; locals prefer dining outdoors when the wind brings the sea’s aroma.
