Palma City Breaks
This vibrant cosmopolitan city has managed to retain a great deal of its ancient charm. Its street life, lively pavement cafes and thriving arts scene lead many people to compare it with the stylish Catalan capital Barcelona.
Insider Tip
Head to one of the tapas bars situated on the main promenade. Order a small beer and sit huddled with the locals around old wine barrels and select tapas from the wide and diverse menu.
