Day 6 — Palma de Mallorca
July 3, 2026

Written by Wendy from the road · photographs by Tatiana
We arrived in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in the morning. We didn't do a tour but instead hopped in a taxi and asked them to take us to the historic center.
When we arrived we visited the Palma Cathedral. This cathedral was extraordinary. We took a ton of photos but they never do it justice. You have to see it for yourself.
After wandering through the cathedral we headed out and walked the narrow streets filled with shops and restaurants. They had the most beautiful cafes and shops as well as a really nice shopping area with high end stores. We had tapas and cocktails at this cute little place called S'Olivera Tapas Bar located in a very busy area where we enjoyed people watching and having our first official Spanish meal.
Afterwards we headed out, continuing to explore the center which seemed endless and grabbed a coffee at Hotel Cappuccino while our teen enjoyed a boba tea. After walking for hours under the sun we headed back to our ship which would take us to our next destination tomorrow morning.
By the way — we loved this city!
Places from this day
