Mallorca Top Things To Do
The Palma Sóller Railway is the best way to get to the charming town of Sóller. The atmospheric 1912-vintage narrow-gauge locomotive makes a scenic 27 -km (16.7-miles) trip through mountains, forests and olive and orange groves
Clubbing
Mallorca (Majorca) has many ‘super clubs' such as Abraxas (formerly Pacha) or Tito's, both in Palma's trendy Paseo Maritimo district, or at BCM Planet Dance (www.bcm-planetdance.com) in Magaluf.
La Sierra de Tramuntana
La Sierra de Tramuntana covers about a third of Majorca's area and is a series of craggy mountains and calm, fertile valleys. The coast begins and ends at two spectacular settings: Dragonera Island and Cape Formentor
Watersports
The crystal waters around Mallorca are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and diving. There are many excursions that can be booked locally.
Tapas in Palma
Palma is perfect for discovering tasty traditional tapas bars and stylish designer watering holes. Also worth a visit is the gloriously over-the-top restaurant Abaco, which is set in the candlelit courtyard of a 17th-century palace with huge bouquets of fresh flowers, tropical birds chirruping in a fragrant garden and wallet-busting cocktails.
Sineu market
The Wednesday market in Sineu is perfect for getting a slice of local rural life. Sellers bring their fresh vegetables, flowers, other produce and livestock from all over the island.
S 'Albufera Nature
The S 'Albufera Nature Reserve in Alcúdia bay is the place to get away from it all. This marshy coastline formed by lakes and natural and artificial canals is a birdwatcher's favourite. There is a visitor centre in Can Picafort.
Pirates
Mallorca's top show is Pirates (www.piratesadventure.com), with its buccaneer-themed acrobatics, gymnastics and dancing. It has played to over 3 million customers for 21 years and caters both to families and to adults with a special Pirates Uncut (18) show.
