Palma de Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca · Spain · 39.56, 2.63

The central city of Mallorca, the largest island in the Mediterranean’s Balearic Islands. The grand Gothic cathedral La Seu rising beside the sea is its symbol, while the old town’s cobblestones, courtyards, and lively cafés add charm. Beautiful beaches and a mild climate make it one of Europe’s leading resort destinations.
