Head out on a daytrip to Palma
C’an Pastilla's a 15-minute cab ride from Palma, so museums, palaces and squares are just a bus or taxi ride away. Its crowning glory is the huge Gothic cathedral, which dominates the good-looking city’s skyline. You can explore cobbled alleyways, which open up to reveal Baroque churches and markets. Head to La Llonja district for the best tapas.Once a tiny fishing village, C’an Pastilla still retains most of its rustic charm. When it comes to dining, the beachfront is lined with restaurants and bars dishing up a mix of local specialities and international cuisine. Inland, the church square is full to the brim with Spanish bars serving tempting tapas, washed down with sangria.

When you’re not sprawled out on the powder-like sands, you can head out into the waters on a pedalo or surf board, or try kite-surfing. Back at the harbour, fishing is a popular pastime.
