Things to do:
If You only have
a short time to visit Mallorca, or would like to get a really
complete picture of the country, here are the essentials.
Spend a day in
Palma exploring the old city, then join the evening
passeig along the waterfront for a drink in one of the
island's trendiest bars.
Take the joyride
to Soller on a vintage electric train through the
mountains.
Enjoy a boat trip
around the coast, passing hidden coves which you
cannot reach in a car.
Walk in the Serra
de Tramuntana, breathing in the heady mix of fresh
air, sea breeze and scented wild herbs.
Sit at a quayside
restaurant eating fresh fish - choose from any one of
the island's ports.
Visit the
monastery at Valldemossa, where Chopin and George
Sand spent the winter of 1838-9.
Drive (or walk)
to a hilltop sanctuary to experience 'the other
Mallorca' - if you really want to get away from it all, spend
the night.
Get a tan on a
crowded beach - you haven't 'done' Mallorca until you
have.
Find out where
there is a local festival going on - and drop
everything to get there.
