A glistening gem of a city on the south coast of an exquisite Mediterranean island, Palma de Mallorca gleams like a precious sun-drenched pearl among the Balearic Islands. Embracing the soothing blue waters of the magnificent Bay of Palma, the city's princely coastline is fringed by an armada of white yachts, shining in the early morning sun. An ancient land, governed by a long and varied string of rulers throughout the centuries, Palma allures with vibrant facets of culture and heritage. Whispers of Byzantine influence waft through its massive cathedral, one of the most magnificent churches in the world, while its historic streets and squares hum with an undeniably Spanish spirit.
