10 Churches & Cathedrals in Majorca That You Shouldn't Miss
The dreamy island that provided inspiration to Chopin and Miró now has a reputation as a spring break beach destination. Don't worry, though, if you're vacationing over elementary school spring break-- there's plenty for the younger crowd. Marineland's dolphin and sea lion shows and children's beach attract families. And if you have a Thomas-obsessed toddler, the antique train that travels between Palma and Soller is a must-see.

The San Francisco de Palma church is a good example of Gothic architecture. It was built between the 13th and 14th centuries and holds the tomb of Ramón Llull. On the other hand, the façade was rebuilt in Baroque style throughout the 17th century. The most important element is the Gothic cloister, which is unique in the Kingdom of Aragon.

The Cathedral was closed on the day of our visit, so we followed the guidebooks instructions to this wonderful gothic church. Apart from a few Spanish worshippers, we were the only visitors. The cloisters are beautiful and the elaborate decorations in the main church are a sight to wonder at. What made our visit completely magical was the organ music wafting around played by an ancient organist who we could just catch glimpses of up in the organ loft. Was he rehearsing, practicing or entertaining the visitors we could not discover.

The church ruin is In the centre of old Son Servera & is very well looked despite there being no charge. Whilst there is no roof, local weddings still take place amongst the beautiful well cared for ruins. The church is a short walk away from the Friday outdoor market which is also worth a visit even if it’s just to browse amongst the usual wares mostly aimed at the tourist market.

An oasis in Platja de Palma. A place where culture and nature meet, conveying the Franciscan spirituality. A monumental church

Park in a large lot across the street and walk up the road which is a pretty steep grade to the entrance of the museum. (I wouldn’t want to push a wheelchair) Five euros to get in and you will be handed a plasticized paper describing highlights of the museum and the sanctuary. The museum focused on archeological finds, agrarian life, and development of the tourist industry. The sanctuary can be enjoyed but not understood- the lecture was only in Spanish. Outside we walked a littl in their forestal park which has an extensive zip line. You can spend as much or as little time as you care to.

It took us around 40 minutes to get there as we were unsure if we were going the right way and had to ask for some help from a friendly local. To get there we followed google maps to a path called 'Travesia De Sa Capelleta'. We followed the very cobbled off route track towards the right. You can either follow the wavy path to the top or take the cobbled steps straight up to the middle- be careful as the ground is very steep and uneven. Take plenty of water! It was definitely worth the trek. It is beautiful and different to anything I've seen before. The church was closed however there were two holes in the doors which let you peer inside.
