About Mallorca

Palma's cathedral stands above the old walls, and the city's lanes, markets, and waterfront cover a day without a car. The Tramuntana range runs along the northwest coast, with the Sóller train, the Sa Calobra road, and walking trails linking villages and coves. June through September is the beach season, though July and August are hot and busy; spring and early autumn are better for hiking and driving the mountain roads.
