Your adventure will start in Palma de Mallorca whose history dates all the way to the Roman period 128BC. Throughout history, it was under the influence of the Byzantine Empire, and Moors (Islamic culture) and after 1229 it was under Catholics to this day.
Palmas de Mallorca’s rich history and cultural heritage left by those communities who lived here left us such a wonderful blend of architecture mixed to explore around the city.
We would recommend visiting the following sights:
It is a 14th-century Gothic-style church also known as Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca. Construction started in 1229 and finished in 1601. Cathedral is located in the old city of Palma. The height of 44m in the central nave makes it the 2nd highest of all Gothic cathedrals, in comparison to 33m in Notre dam De Paris and Saint-Pierre de Beauvais 48m.
Get lost and wander medieval streets and discover where they take you. Enjoy the traditional Mallorcan architecture, beautiful squares, and a courtyard while walking around. There are many small treasures to be found in this quarter such as bookshops, vintage shops, and antique shops.
Just 3km outside the city on a hill stands tall its protector. Built-in 14th for King James the II of Mallorca. It is unique because it is made in a circle, so it belongs to a group of a few circular castles in Europe. Firstly, used as a residence later on as a prison, and now as the main tourist attraction.
Bourne Boulevard is one of the most visited and elegant avenues in the old city. The Boulevard was built on the old riverbed Riera, which runs through the center of the city. A line of lofty trees offers nice shade during summer and during winter they are decorated with light to bring the Christmas atmosphere. Feel free, to sit down on one of many stone benches or order a coffee at coffee. Filled with many shops that offer luxury brands, it was given a nickname, the Golden mile.
Blast from the past, Vintage excursion with a wooden train or tram from 1912. Most charming attraction by many, take a ride on the train between Palma and Soller. Enjoy the wonderful natural scenery with viaducts, bridges, and tunnels.
The traditional market offers many varieties of food to buy and presents a great opportunity to taste and eat tapas and other dishes. Located in the center of the old quarter.
Inviting beachfront walk that goes for 6km from Palma to el Arenal with the tree line.
Since it was opened In 2004, it hosted many artistic creations from the 20th and 21st centuries. During the year its repertoire changes and offers the visitor many different collections, and art exhibitions from both domestic and international artists. Furthermore, it hosts music, theatre, artist performances, and poetry events as well as promotes experimental exhibits.
The fishing village where synergy happened between old-fashioned and hipster culture. Many fishermen’s houses were turned into hip cottages. A nice promenade provides an activity to stretch your legs go for a walk, ride a bicycle, or skate alongside charming restaurants and coffee places.
Nice area in the old town to spend time during the night with many restaurants, bars, and clubs.
Es Trenc beach is one of the most enchanting places in Mallorca. It's turquoise clear blue waters and bright and make you feel like you are on a Caribbean tropical island, perfect for beach lovers. Beach extends over 2 kilometers and its shallow sea level allows you to play many water sports in it. Behind the beach are sand dunes, low vegetation, and some pines, unfortunately, it is not allowed to walk there due to it being a natural park. All this makes Es Trenc one of the top ten beaches in Mallorca to visit. Since it is positioned in the South of Mallorca it makes it the best place to watch the sunset. Nevertheless, explore chiringuito S´Embat on Ses Covetes beach which is a little bit up the coast, there you can enjoy bbq and live music.
Because of being so remote and a little bit tricky to enter from inland it makes the list of one of the best wild and relaxed beaches in Mallorca, their main beach is about 90m long. A nice rocky bay, crystal clear water with smooth descent of the surface into the sea, and fine sand make it perfect for everyone to enjoy it. In the background are pine trees and other Mediterranean vegetation providing shade if you are looking to take a break from the Sun. During the summer period as in most of Spain, free-spirited hippies spend their time there and are selling jewelry, souvenirs, and drinks.
People come here to sunbathe, swim and snorkel, but occasional free climbers and free divers can be found there because of the steep rocky slopes and cliffs from which you can jump into the sea. If you decide to explore a little there can be found many grotas and Caves.
Is the most northeastern part of Mallorca which is situated on the Punta de Capdepera peninsula and it reaches out on both sides of it. During the clear day, if you fancy walking, we would recommend visiting the 19th-century lighthouse just on the tip of the peninsula from where you can see Mallorca, to be a more accurate city of Ciutadella.
Also, during the evening a walk in the Avinguada d’America is quite welcoming and offers restaurants and bars to sit down and enjoy the rest of the day.
Here are two options for moorings that include marine or Yacht club.
Cala Rajada used to be a small fishing village, due rise in tourism across Europe in the 1960s It started transforming itself into a tourist place, although you can still find small fisherman boats including the traditional Mallorcan llaüt. Furthermore, its position played an economic role with Menorca being the closest port to it.
After you finish your morning routine in Cala Rajada it's time to set off for Formentor peninsula and/or Pollensa port to explore the town of Pollensa, in agreement with your skipper.
Puerto Pollens is a major resort for families to come and spend their vacations providing nice scenery and sandy beaches within a pleasant atmosphere. In Pollensa port, you can hop on the bus to explore Pollensa which is a couple of kilometers inland.
Pollensa was in 13-th by Catalans as a settlement in the vicinity of the Serra de Tramuntera Mountain range in order to fight off any pirate attacks. Although it was mainly constructed around the 18th century hence the low-rise buildings' roads are narrow and compact due to medieval era influence. The lively hood of the city can be found at Plaza Mayor, the square is filled with people enjoying coffee, tapas, and drinks depending on the time of the day. On the square is a church Esglesia de Nostra Senyora dels Angels whose founders are the Knights Templar in the 13-th century. One of the most visited places is the 365-steps stairway that takes you up to the chapel on top of Calvary hill. Furthermore, another attraction is the Roman bridge which is a nice remnant of history from the Roman Empire. Don’t miss out on the beautiful Garden of Joan March which is a more recent attraction from the 80s. It was a gift from one of the most famous families on the island to the town of Pollensa. Inside the garden beside many specimens of trees and other vegetation of the island can be found a medieval gothic tower and a statue of a local hero Joan Mas who fought in the greatest pirate attack in 1550.
If you want to move away from the town and the ports and decide to experience offerings of nature and its landscape then exploring the Formator peninsula is the place. It is a part of the Serra de Tramuntana Mountain range, offering many places to pick your curiosity such as many coves and many beaches: Cala Figuera, Cala Muerta, Cala Pi dela Posada, behind the Punta de l’Avançada there is a small creek called el Caló and many others. It is quite a view and experience when sailing around the Formentor peninsula its cliffs are just spectacular and breath-taking. Have your camera ready.
As the town of Pollensa, Soller has its port on the coast to serve as a front row of protection against possible threats from the sea and its town found its cradle inland, but it is a little bit more isolated than the rest of the cities on Mallorca.
Nevertheless, it had one advantage and that was a fertile valley that was used to grow Oranges, lemons, and other citruses that made the town wealthy in the early 20th century. The town's name comes from the origin of the Arabic word “suliar, meaning “golden bowl” which perfectly describes the fertility of the valley that made them prosper.
Since Soller didn’t have good communication on inland with Palma because of the mountain that separate them they turned to exporting their goods to Franch. Thanks to the profits made from the vast export of their citrus the city started to bloom and their famous attraction which works still today was built, Ferrocarril de Soller. Interurban railway, since you will dock in the port there is a line that can take you to the town, so definitely take a ride with a vintage train.
After you hop off your ride, you will find yourself in an old Mediterranean town rich with history and hidden gems for you to find and explore. The main square is Paca Constitucio, representing a local place to sit down have a coffee, and try some of their freshly squeezed orange, lemon juice, and tapas.
Soller was lucky to be blessed with two creations from Joan Rubio I Bellver who was a Catalan contributor modernist movement and was a disciple of Antonio Gaudi. The first to visit would be the church of Sant Bartomeu and Banco de Soller. Another attraction you don’t want to miss out on if you are into art is the Can Prunera Museum of Modernism. We would also recommend that you explore the orchard “Sa Vinyassa”. It is a farm that grows the above-mentioned citruses on their property of 18.000 m2. under the impressive rocks of the Alfabia ridge, between Fornalutx and Biniaraix. Their main purpose is to environmental education, coming there you will learn a lot about farming oranges, and their history in this peaceful micro-climate environment including a tasting of their delicious products.
There are also many other options like hiking the Camino de Mallorca GR221 trail or renting bicycles.
After you decided that it’s time to say goodbye to Soller you will set out in direction of Sa Dragonera Island, an uninhabited natural park. The island received its name based on the shape that resembles a dragon. It is 3.200 m in length and 500 m in width covering an area of 2.88 km2.
With two other smaller islands Illot des Pantaleu and Sa Mitjana they provide a home to more than 300 different herbal species of which are 18 endemics. Furthermore, there are also small “Godzillas” an endemic population of wall lizards. Not to mention that many species of birds found a home here, and you guest some of them are endemic such as Audouin’s gull and the Balearic shearwater. Island also has two defensive watchtowers that were built in 18th century, including a lighthouse Tramuntana in the north and Llebeig in the south of the island which you can reach by hiking path.
If you decide to descend towards Palma, this whole southwest area has some nice bays where you can drop the anchor and discover the surrounding area, I would then recommend Cala del Mago and Portals Vells. The pine forest made its way to the seaside so you can find shelter under the tree or bath in the crystal clear sea.
Waking up in Cala del Mago or Portals Vells taking it easy, enjoying your morning swim and nice breakfast, and planning when to return to Palama.
For everything to go smoothly it is recommended to return before Sundown so you can pack yourself, ready the boat, and make the final check. After you finish everything from the checklist you will have time to explore Palma by night.
Last time for exploring Palama and any last-minute shopping.
