Playa de Palma's beach reaches 6km, consisting of soft, silken sand gently shelving into the azure Mediterranean Sea. It has a Blue Flag award for cleanliness, and the promenade that runs alongside it has plenty of little shops, eateries and bars that light up as the evening goes on. Along the whole stretch are over a dozen numbered 'Balnearios', which are small beach huts that provide showers, toilets and refreshments. You'll often see touts wandering the beach selling snacks, trinkets and dodgy-looking watches, but if you'd rather be left alone you can easily wave them away.
The Palau de l'Almudaina in Palma de Mallorca was originally a Moorish palace, converted to a gothic palace by King Jaime II after the 13th Century conquests. It stands beautifully preserved and still reserved for the King of Spain's official visits, but thankfully open to the public for viewing too. Opposite the palace are some beautifully-maintained botanic gardens which are also well worth a look during your holiday to Playa de Palma.
