Palma Cathedral. Built between the 14th and 19th centuries, this French Gothic structure is 121 meters long by 55 meters wide and has the largest rosette window in Europe. It is probably the most well-known symbol of Palma, the capital of Majorca.
Almudaina Palace. Royal Palace built over an old Muslim fortress, it was the residence of the first King and Queen of Majorca.
The Lonja (Marketplace). One of the most beautiful examples of civil gothic architecture in the Mediterranean. Today it houses the Museum of Fine Arts.
Paseo del Born. Main thoroughfare and heart of the historic quarter, and one of the busiest streets in the city. This avenue branches off to medieval streets with 19th century palaces of Italian influence.
La Plaza de Cort. In this square lies the Palma City Hall, with a beautiful 17th century façade. The nearby Gothic church of Santa Catalina is also worth visiting.
Bellver Castle. An example of 14th century military architecture, in almost perfect condition. It is the only circular castle in Europe.
Influenced by geography, the people of Majorca have made good use of the cornucopia of ingredients found on their island.
The most typical dishes in Majorcan cuisine are "trempo", (a delicious salad of tomatoes, green pepper, and onion); "tumbet", made with potatoes, eggplant, peppers and tomatoes; and Majorcan soups made from a base of vegetables and brown bread.
Other popular Majorcan dishes are "frito mallorquin", "rostit", oven-roasted suckling pig, pork loin with cabbage, "brut" rice, vegetable "cocas", "cocarrois", and "empanadas".
Visitors to the island should also try "pa amb oli", juicy slices of bread with olive oil and tomato served with ham, cheese, Mallorcan olives, and a good local wine.
Other dishes not to be missed are "sobrasada", "botifarro", "camaiot", and regional sausages and cured meats.
Typical desserts include "ensaimada", "gato de almendra" (almond), cottage cheese pie, apricot cake, potato pie, "duquesas", "crespells", and "robiols".
The most typical handcrafted products are Llengües, fabrics with unique prints (used to make bedcovers, tapestries, and curtains); clay objects like the traditional Siurells (horse-shaped whistles covered with lime and etched with fun red and green designs); handmade blown glass made mainly in the town of Algaida; pearls and furniture from Manacor; and shoes and furs from Inca.
The Balearic Islands have a long merchant tradition, which explains the presence of traditional outdoor markets held weekly in every town on the island. Some of the more popular ones are in Alcudia (Tuesdays and Sundays), Inca (Thursdays), Binissalem (Fridays) and Santa Maria (Sundays).
