The Spanish island of Mallorca (aka Majorca) lies in the Mediterranean Sea about 200 km out from Barcelona. It’s the largest island in the Balearic archipelago, and a playground for affluent boaties and tour groups that stream in from all over Europe to enjoy the beaches and soak up the sunshine. We had just a day here and spent our time wandering around the centre of the main town, Palma. There was a large market underway in Plaza Mayor pulling in the crowds. As did the Palma Cathedral on the waterfront, featuring some characteristic interior work by Barcelona’s famous son Antoni Gaudi.
