Delve inside Palma Cathedral
Palma’s centrepiece is its Gothic cathedral. All pinnacles and flying buttresses, it’s the jewel of the old town, standing guard over the harbour. Work began on the masterpiece back in the 13th century and it carried on for 400 years. Don’t miss the cathedral’s incredible rose window, which is made from 1,236 pieces of stained glass.With 7 coves to pick from, beach hopping is a popular pastime in Cala d’Or. The biggest strip – though still a bit of a tiddler – is busy Cala Gran, while the teenier, pine-fringed Cala d’Or is close by. And if you like poking round rock pools, you can head north to the craggy rocks of Cala Ferrera.
