Palma is the beautiful, historic capital of the Spanish island of Mallorca. The city is renowned for its stunning architecture, including the Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria, and its lovely seafront location. With a vibrant nightlife, excellent restaurants and some of the best shopping in the Mediterranean, Palma is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The city is also a great base for exploring the rest of Mallorca, with its dramatic mountain scenery, rugged coastline and sandy beaches.

It took me ages to get the perfect shot, and I was terrified of losing my sacred instrument in the ocean cause the waves were getting higher with every try, but the result was worth taking the risk.

I really enjoyed my time in Palma. We visited Palma from the wonderful little village of Port d'Andratx where we were staying. The weather was great, the people were friendly, the architecture was beautiful, and the food was delicious.

The city is right on the water with magnificent views of the ocean and access to beaches. Palma is also very pedestrian-friendly with promenades and tree-lined boulevards cutting through the city. The perfect city for relaxing with an ice cream or cup of coffee at a green plaza.
