WHY GO

Most visitors to Mallorca head for the fashionable areas of its north coast, simply ignoring the island's capital city. But Palma is a charming and civilised place, an ideal weekend destination with the best of both worlds: the vitality of a capital and the relaxed pace of a island town. It resembles a gracious mini-Barcelona, a chilled-out, street-safe city with a cosmopolitan population, notable architecture and a buzzy nightlife. Its Old Town, with its narrow cobbled streets, Renaissance palaces and hidden squares, is a jewel. The capital also makes a fine winter base from which to explore the rest of the island.
