General presentation
Majorque
Large Mediterranean island very complete, between Palma, calanques, villages, Serra de Tramuntana, caps and family beaches.
Palma, Serra de Tramuntana and Cap de Formentor give the most telling landmarks of Mallorca. Together, they make up a destination where island landscapes, coastline, mountain reliefs and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is best to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very requested in summer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
Strengths and constraints

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Cathedral
Cathédrale de Palma
The Cathedral of Palma strikes by the balance between exterior monumentality and interior thoroughness. The volumes, the filtered light and the carved details form a composition that must be explored from several points rather than from the center of the square. The moment of passage is important for contrasts: early, the facade breathes; later, the interior responds better to shadows.
Mountain
Serra de Tramuntana
The Serra de Tramuntana offers a typical range of reliefs where roads and trails open unexpected angles to the sea and villages. The experience is based on listening to the terrain, walking speed and fragmented views between two turns. The most striking sections appear when time between ports of call is forecast.
Panoramic Cape
Cap de Formentor
In Cape Formentor, the winding road leads to cliffs, twisted pines and hanging viewpoints over a very blue sea. The wind is part of the place, as are the rapid changes in light; outside the most frequented hours, the viewpoints regain a calmer intensity.
