Palma is a port and city on the popular island resort of Majorca. Majorca is part of the Balearic Islands in Spain which is a very popular holiday spot with UK holidaymakers. Although there are lots of beaches, lots of clubs and restaurants in Palma, there are also lots of historical and cultural attractions in the city. Cathedrals, monuments, galleries and palaces still stand and can offer a nice contrast to the traditional beach holiday. You will also find more locals in Palma than at the other heavily tourist focused beach resorts.

In the winter the temperature dips to around 10c but it remains pleasant without a nasty chill.What to do
Palma has plenty of beaches for you to relax on, and you can take your pick. The same for night clubs and bars; the choice is endless.As well as these places, try to visit the Banys Arabs. These are 10th century Moorish baths that are hidden in the Barri Gothic, or the medieval quarter. The building is unique and a great place to see. The Castell de Bellver is also a stunning castle, which now has a museum inside. You can get a great view of Majorca form the palace, as well as look at old artefacts.
