Palma

Capital of Spain's independent Ballearic Islands, Palma is replete with cultural activities, art and good food all of which have fascinated travelers since time immemorial. Old Town Palma is a must-visit with its Mediterranean charm that's accentuated by cobbled streets, orange street lamps, Gothic structures and museums. Having been under Islamic, Christian, Moorish, Roman and other conquests, Palma manifests influences from a melange of cultures. The cuisine served up at tiny taverns and tapas bars are legendary, and go best with some vintage sangrea.
