Palma de Mallorca, part 1.
Hey folks!
It's been quite shocking week, long and tiring and no way I'm going to discuss any politic news on here :) Despite the fact that Britain decided to leave EU- we are going today to one of EU countries and it's going to be Spain. I want to share with you one of my latest trips- wonderful week in Palma De Mallorca :)
Mallorca - one of lovely Balearic Islands in Spain. Palma is probably the biggest city and very busy tourist center. As I know it was founded about 123 BC.
In 17th-19th centuries it's been pirates heaven:) I'll tel you about pirates a little bit more in my next post about my trip to Mallorca :)
Old city streets are absolutely adorable. I.m totally in love from now and forever :)
And of course I've found an old-old cathedral to wonder around :D
So here it is- Palma Cathedral. The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma .
It was founded in 1230 and finished only by 1587. Not going to tell you much about it this time :)
I'll let you enjoy the view :)
Just need to mention one little detail which makes this cathedral absolutely unique - my favourite Antoni Gaudi spent about 13 years working on this amazing place. In 1901 Gaudí was invited to take over the restoration project and unfortunately left a bit earlier than it was planned, right after having an argument with the contractor of the restoration project.
Mallorca sandy beaches are definitely in top sandy beaches in all Europe. Then longest is probably Platja de Palma - about 4,6km long, has all possible facilities , and if you are planing beach holiday - it could be ideal place for you and your family :)
Adorable old streets in old-old- and very old cities- is my passion :) I love those beautiful old streets full of memories in every city where I was- streets of old Tallinn and Helsinki, Stockholm and Kiev. Old streets in Greece, France and Spain are so magnificent and full of mystery that I can walk there for hours.
Road cycling is very popular in Majorca. An international race for professional cyclists. Professional cyclists from all over the world comes here to train for races, championships. Our hotel where we stayed, was absolutely fully booked by professional cyclists team from Germany and actually I was very impressed to find out that they were training for Iron Man World Championship 2016 :)
And of course food! That what makes any holiday so enjoyable :) Spanish paella and sea food, tapas, sausages and cheese - that's all I need :)
And if you really want to enjoy all that- you should definitely pop in to
Mercat de l'Olivar- stunning market place of Balearic cuisine.
Lots of places to see, lots of
things to do and lots and lots of sunshine to catch :D
