10 Historic Sites in Majorca That You Shouldn't Miss

June 14, 2021 Margarita Chappel

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.

La Casa de Robert Graves

Reviewed By 549JenB - London, United Kingdom

The house is a short walk from the centre of town (well signposted) and occupies a peaceful and beautiful setting. It costs 7 Euros or 5 Euros for a pensioner. The visit starts with a film about Robert Graves life and loves and is full of interesting details and facts, followed by a wander round the garden and house which is full of his furniture and belongings. Each room has a written fact sheet in Spanish, Catalan, English and German which explains the features worth noting and it almost feels as if he has just popped out. The whole place has a lovely atmosphere and I can see why he chose the location.

Santuari de Cura

Reviewed By Technosaurus - Aspatria, United Kingdom

From the pretty little timewarp town of Randa, a 5km winding road engineered into the hillside (accessible by car, bike, or marked off-road hiking trails) brings you to this magnificent old monastery. The buildings are impressive, the views must be the best on Majorca, and the site has been adapted well for the modern visitor, with parking for cars and bikes, toilets, a restaurant with an extensive menu and indoor and courtyard seating, and a snack bar. Well worth a visit.

Convento de Santa Clara

Reviewed By Aperitif6 - Goettingen, Germany

Already last year we came here after we read about the Convento de Santa Clara in a guide book. The church is dark, with old paintings at the walls- peaceful and spiritually. As far as I read, the community of nuns is very small and they live from things that they plant in their gardens behind, which aren'topen for guests, from donations and the sweets that they sell. Sadly I've not been there around christmas, when they offer even more things. But all around the year, one can buy selfmade chocolate bars and cookies. Now in summertime, they also sold ice cream. It's just a nice experience the way how you buy the things, as the nuns don't show themselves. Who loves quiet special places should defenitely go there!

Palau de l'Almudaina

A royal palace has stood on this site since soon after the Arab conquest.

Reviewed By Aqua_Uomo - Toronto, Canada

I visited Palma at the end of February and between being a weekend, Carnival, crazy hours or simply not available many attractions were closed. This one was not closed and it has good long hours regardless of the day of the week or the season. For me, based on availability and content, this was the best the see in Palma. Other places, like the Cathedral is has short hours allowed for visiting or others like the Arab Baths are overrated. Make this your priority, it makes sense, it is beautiful inside-out!
