Mallorca is back as one of this summer's big favourites: Mallorca has for some years been among the classic holiday resorts that suffered from the popularity of new exciting and exotic destinations in South America and Asia that managed to push Mallorca back in the shade for a while, but now Mallorca is back as one of summer's hottest destinations.

Mallorca is the largest Balearic island. The population in Mallorca does not reach 700.000 inhabitants, and of those, around 50 percent lives in the capital Palma de Mallorca or simply Palma.

Palma de Mallorca is a historic city. Many tourists miss the history and culture when they spend the entire holiday at the hotel and the beach. The architecture in Palma de Mallorca is well worth some attention. The old city is renowned for beautiful buildings with courtyards, palaces, churches and fine art galleries. The sea is always close and harbours, ports, beaches and Mediterranean atmosphere are present everywhere.

The most popular sights in the city of Palma de Mallorca is undoubtedly the Miró Museum, the beautiful Gothic cathedral "La Seu", the bail Bellver, the palace Palacio Almidaina and the ruins of the Arabic baths.

Palma's most renowned shopping district is located around the avenue "Via Sindicato".

Popular excursions and day trips in Mallorca are the caves Cuevas del Drach, close Porto Christo. The caves has a fabulous lake, Lago Martel, and concerts are often played inside the cave.

Those who like walking should not miss a walking tour in the nature reserve "Puig de Galatzo": A valley in the mountains a bit more than 15 kilometers from Palma: Beautiful scenery with many waterfalls in completely unspoilt nature.

Although Palma is the largest and most well known city on Mallorca, there are many smaller towns on that are great holiday options.
