| Almudaina is just next to the cathedral. This building dates back to the time, when the north African kings had conquered Spain and Mallorca. | The classical cathedral picture, and a place well worth visiting. Not alone to see this fantastic building, but also to visit the nearby area. Within walking distance from here, you can visit old town, shopping district or just breathe the atmosphere of what is still a real Spanish city. | |||
