Palma de Mallorca
Why go?
Long overlooked, Palma is now becoming a hot destination in its own right. With a costly restoration programme in the old city over the last five years, it gets better each time we visit. Chic boutiques, avant-garde art galleries, modernista architecture, a magnificent cathedral, two harbours lined with mega-yachts, leafy promenades, pavement cafes, tapas bars, excellent restaurants and buzzing nightlife. And best of all, Palma is small enough to explore on foot. Easy access makes it perfect for a weekend away.
