The Balearic capital has fabulous beaches, five in total, such as, for example, the Playa de Palma or the Arenal. The Llotja, next to the promenade, is one of the most emblematic buildings of the city, with its gothic style. The Castell de Bellver is another symbol of Palma, and it's very peculiar because of its circular plan. The Catedral de Palma, the la Seu, it's another place not to miss. You can visit it and then walk around the old town centre: this is the best way to discover the streets, churches and patios of the Majorca. Do not forget to stop at Plaza Mayor and at the Palau de l'Almudaina If you enjoy walking you can take a stroll along the Bay of Palma up until the beach of the Arenal: it's a relaxing and beautiful walk. If you are a "sportaholic" this island won't let you down! You can do horse riding, play golf, trek on ancient roman paths, cycle and practice many water sports.
