Mallorca Points of interest / Sightseeing and excursions

There aren’t any secret places left on the island. With about 9 Million tourists per year coming to beautiful Majorca and all those „Insider“ giving away their special tipps … we just don’t have any secrets left.
But, we do have all those precious places known as “The Classics”. If you haven’t seen them, then you haven’t been on Majorca!  And we can reassure you:  everyone will find her/ his personal favourite spot on the island.

Some of those „Classics“ are:

1. the cathedral „la Seu“ in Palma, Belver castle overlooking the capital and the Bay of Palma, „paseo Maritimo“ the harbour promenade, the old towncenter including the “Arabian Bathhouse”, the shopping district around “plaça Major” and the restaurants and bars in the “Santa Catalina
2. nestled within two mountains lies Alarò, a pitoresque village with an inviting village square surrounded by restaurants and bars. Up on one of the mountains overlooking the village, you find the old castle of Alarò, “Castillo de Alarò”.  Don’t go up in the midst of the summer heat and always care about wearing good shoes ;-)
3. Valldemossa with it’s Chartreuse estate and Chopin museum is definitely a „must see“
4. known for its art galleries and pitoreque charme is Deia, situated between Valldemossa and Soller
