Building the enormous gothic Seo cathedral began in 1230 and has been going on, more or less, ever since.

Gaudí contributed some typically modernista interiors in the early 20th century but even that has been upstaged by the vast ceramic tableau of cracked mud, fish and skulls in St Peter’s chapel. The work of Mallorca’s foremost contemporary artist Miquel Barceló, it is loosely based on the miracle of the loaves and fishes and was officially opened in February this year.

Palma is the most pleasant city anywhere. It is wonderful for walking, browsing and shopping.

The architecture is splendid, it abounds in cafes, restaurants, dancing, nightclubs etc. The beaches and yacht marinas are part of the city. It has an international airport and ferries to the other islands and mainland.

The coastline and scenery on the island are unparalleled in their beauty, the climate is perfect.

Spring and early summer is the best time to visit. To really admire the wonderful scenery and mountains, it is essential to have a car. The springtime flowers are almost beyond belief in their boundless colours and magnificence.

Palma is THE PLACE TO BE.
