The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands
Palma, the economic and cultural hub of Majorca, is a delightful base for exploring the island's many gold and white beaches. A former Moorish casbah, or walled city, Palma's Old Town is an appealing maze of narrow streets that are a delight to explore on foot. Hop on the Soller Railway for a 17-mile scenic trip, visit 14th-century Bellver Castle and the museum of contemporary art, and check out the nightlife.

I visited the Majorca Gin Distillery in April with a group of 5 ladies and what can I say - we had a blast! Ross entertained us for the duration of the visit, sharing fun and interesting facts about the history and origins of gin, providing us with a range of tasters and helping us to make our own delicious cocktails, tailored to our own tastes. I would highly recommend this experience even if you’re not a gin lover as all tastes are catered for! Thanks Ross for an amazing afternoon!

I have been to many grand places of worship, but this one took my breath away. The exterior was promising, and though I had to pay EUR8 to get into the cathedral, I felt that the entrance fee was well worth what I saw: a beautiful nave, fantastic stained glass windows, and lovely side chapels. You can sit in many corners of the cathedral and pause to appreciate different aspects of this architectural masterpiece. Take some coins with you if you want to light candles and pray for special people and intentions.

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.
Reviewed By 410steveg - Long Crendon, United Kingdom
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.
