Why go to Palma?
Home to the famous Basílica de Santa María cathedral, Palma is Majorca’s epicentre. And, boy, does it have a lot to offer.
Palma holidays have something to offer everyone. From historical sites for history lovers, an epic food scene for culinary aficionados and golden beaches for those who wish to unwind by the sea, you can expect your Palma holiday to delight every type of holidaymaker.
Be prepared to be blown away by the architecture: holidays to Palma are characterised by the picturesque historic centre, which features looming Gothic cathedrals and honeyed stone buildings that seemingly turn to gold as they reflect the light of the rising sun. Beyond its postcard-worthy appearance, Palma also boasts a variety of museums, galleries and cultural centres.
No Palma holiday is complete without a visit to the market – Mercat de l’Olivar. Here, you can find a range of tapas representing the best of the island’s bounty. Sample your way around the stalls while sipping on a locally-produced wine or vermút (vermouth). Don’t forget that Palma witnesses nigh on 300 days of annual sunshine, making it a great choice all year round.
