Mallorca
Palma's cathedral and the Tramuntana coast.
A soaring seafront Gothic cathedral and the dramatic mountain coast behind it.
Palma de Mallorca pairs a vast seafront Gothic cathedral, La Seu, its interior reworked by Gaudí, with a handsome old town of courtyards and cafés. Behind the city rises the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO mountain range of switchback drives, stone villages like Valldemossa and Sóller, and hidden cove beaches. More range than its package-holiday reputation suggests.
