When you think of Mallorca<\/strong>, It is easy for your mind to fly to coves with turquoise waters or to the image of the most universal Mallorcan, Rafa Nadal<\/strong>, lifting a trophy. The island is, without a doubt, a paradise of sunshine and a benchmark for elite sport, and it also has its greatest treasure in the capital, as we explain in the Aumentur guide<\/a>. Palma is the cultural jewel that seduced the brilliant artist. Joan Mir\u00f3<\/strong> so much so that he settled here for good, trapped by its light and creative energy. Now is the time to discover that the capital of this paradise is a destination in itself. Here is a 48-hour itinerary for you to savour Palma<\/strong> calmly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 1: The heart of Palma<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"View

View of the Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca<\/p><\/div>\n

Your week-end<\/strong> starts at the most iconic place, the seafront promenade<\/strong>, where you are greeted by the most impressive duo in town. First, the St Mary's Cathedral<\/a> (La Seu)<\/strong>. Here, take time to admire its Gothic majesty and, above all, to let yourself be mesmerised by the light filtering through its rose window, the largest in the world. Next door, the Royal Palace of the Almudaina, l<\/strong>a fortress of kings that has been the island's centre of power since Roman times. Walk around its parade ground and its Gothic halls, but don't leave without looking for its best-kept secret: the Arab baths that survive inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

After refuelling in one of the excellent restaurants or bars in the old town, head back to the Paseo Mar\u00edtimo to enjoy the sea views and dreamy yachts until you arrive at Sa Llotja<\/strong>, i.e. the Lonja de Palma<\/strong>. Although it looks like a church, it was once a merchants' temple, and its interior, a forest of stone columns, will take your breath away. On your way out, relax in the Gardens of S'Hort del Rei,<\/strong> the former king's orchard, today a haven of peace at the foot of the city walls. The afternoon ends with a stroll through the Paseo del Borne<\/strong>, The most elegant avenue in the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Day 2: Feel the soul of the city<\/b><\/h2>\n

It starts in the Olive Grove Market<\/strong> or in the cosmopolitan Santa Catalina Market<\/strong>, where you will find a spectacle of colours and aromas where you can taste the local produce. Take the opportunity to try the iconic ensaimada<\/strong>, a fluffy potato cake<\/strong> or a piece of almond cat<\/strong>, the local sponge cake par excellence. From there, enter the labyrinth of streets of the old town. Discover the imposing Plaza Mayor<\/strong>, the heart of social life, and just a few steps away, the Church of Santa Eulalia<\/strong>, a Gothic jewel where the Kingdom of Mallorca was born. Continue your walk through the old Jewish quarter, a place steeped in history.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the afternoon, we offer you a choice. If you are an art lover, your destination is Es Baluard, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art,<\/strong> built on an old Renaissance wall and with works by artists such as Picasso and Mir\u00f3. If you prefer an unforgettable view and a lesson in architecture, climb up the Bellver Castle,<\/strong> a fortress unique in Europe for its perfectly circular layout. From its parade ground and ramparts, you will get the best panoramic view of the city, the bay and the Tramuntana mountain range.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here's the \u00abwhat\u00bb<\/strong>, a specific route for an unforgettable weekend in Palma. But for discovering the \u00abwhy\u00bb<\/strong>, The stories whispered by the stones of La Seu, the legend of the alchemist of the Almudaina or the secret of the \u00ablazy man's bench\u00bb, you need a narrator. The Aumentur guide<\/a> is that personal narrator that turns your visit into an experience. It includes an interactive map, opening hours, tickets and audio guides so that you can make the most of your time and not just see the typical postcard of the city, but really understand it and feel it.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
