Palma de Mallorca is a city located on the popular tourist trap island of Majorca and is one of the most visited of the Spanish cities for tourists from out with the country. Given its fascinating history, which dates back through Roman times and even proved colourful in the nineteen fifties when the boom in tourism drove the local economy forward to becoming the impressive force it is today, visitors will not be short of diversions during a stay here.

Some of the highlights of a holiday in Palma de Mallorca must include spending time at some of the many gorgeous beach areas around the city, in particularly the Playa de Palma. Because of the Muslim era influence, you will be fascinated by the contrasting tapestries of the architecture in the old parts of the city, including the Town Hall and the Convent of the Cathedral. Although Palma de Mallorca is not far from the airport which services the island, it is well worth hiring a car during a stay here which will ease visiting other parts of Majorca such as Manacor and Deia.
