Mallorca is an island of contrasts. From the bustling capital, Palma, to the many tranquil beaches around its coast, to the extraordinary cliffs and scenery around Déia, a trip here will satisfy any visitor. If you are considering taking a holiday in Mallorca, then read our tips below and find out what Mallorca has to offer.

Palma – the city of delights
Palma is a delightful, if overwhelming, city to visit. The cramped streets of the old town open on to huge modern squares, all surrounded by some stunning architecture. Its main attraction is the cathedral, which dominates the Bay of Palma. From the sea, or from the square, this extraordinary building will enchant any visitor with its imposing grandeur. The area around here is packed with little shops, some for tourists and some which have been with the same family for generations. A look through a shop’s window is just as satisfying as looking up at the building’s facade.

A trip into history
Mallorca’s two best places to experience are Déia and Soller. Déia is a place of unbelievable beauty, surrounded by cliffs, crags, and the stunning Mediterranean Sea. This is the place where the English poet, Robert Graves, spent his last few years but also brought up his children. They have all continued to distinguished careers, influenced by their upbringing here.

The village has been home to a community of artists, writers, musicians and their acolytes, since the 1950s. To explore is to enjoy. The cliffs and the beaches, where visitors can sit all day and watch the fishing boats, are a sight that will stay in the memory. Relaxing here is the most demanding part of the day.

Soller is easily reached from Palma by Europe’s most unusual train. The route was completed in 1912, after the building of 13 tunnels through the mountains, and ends by descending into Soller from a spectacular view. The carriages were constructed of wood, both inside and out, and perfectly recall the era in which they were built. The obvious care with which they have been preserved is a testament to the island’s pride in its history. The journey takes a stop at a tiny mountainside station, where visitors can admire the view down into Soller’s valley.

Once in Soller, there is a lot to see, but don’t expect to do anything quickly. The town realises it is a tourist attraction, but still retains its authenticity. The pretty church and its peaceful square should not be missed on a visit here. Visitors from major cities may be disappointed by what they think of as slow service in the surrounding bars. In reality, the pace of life is so much slower here, and takes some getting used to.

The town is connected to its port by an electric tram system. Take a trip on this bumpy little road train, built for neither comfort nor speed, and you arrive at the glistening sea. The port is now almost totally dedicated to tourists, but there are still some authentic delights to be found, just a couple of hundred metres away from the sea.

More than bar and beach
Mention Mallorca and most people will think of mass tourism. It’s true that the island has many tourist resorts around its coast, but these can be cleverly used as a cheap and convenient base from which to visit its unspoilt charms. The best way of getting around is on the island’s excellent bus network. Sit back and relax in air-conditioned comfort, gazing at the tranquil countryside, on a visit to one of the delightful market towns, away from the other tourists.

Of course, Mallorca is famous for its beaches, but these vary from the packed resorts to the many delightful little coves, some hardly used at all. So, here you have a choice of enjoyment, where children can play together in a vast arena of sand, or a deserted cove where you can relax and enjoy no sound but the Mediterranean lapping along the shore.
