| 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. | |||

In the centre of Palma de Mallorca there is a lot of modern art to be found, made by local artists. Look around and you find these sculptures located in many places. This is called "the cyclist". I took a while to find the bicycle. |

Typical "old style" bar on Born, called "Lirico", near Plaza de la Reina. One of the oldest in town. It is the place to relax and study the people coming and going. Try the chocolate cake. |
