Majorca
The coastal island of Majorca felt more like an exotic hidden treasure than the largest of the Balearic Islands.
It was full of my favorite things – character, charm, & a full-dose of color. What I loved most was the simplicity of this short island trip. From riding our bikes along the coast, to delectable fresh seafood bites on the water, there wasn’t much to do except stroll and take in the sights.
To Eat & Drink
La Boveda — Tucked away in the Plaça de la Llotja, this small gastronomic bistro was packed with eaters. Get the bacon wrapped dates & steamed mussels.
Casanova Restaurante — Perfect for a leisurely lunch break overlooking the calmest blue water.
KOA & OMBÜ — sister restaurants with excellent tapas options, great vibes and delicious sangria.
Restaurante La Cantina Palma — Overlooking the harbor, this is the perfect spot for a quick bite to eat or a glass of Sangria.
To Do & See
Can Forteza Ray – A modernist building designed by Gaudí.
Plaça de la Llotja — A plaza with resturants, gellato shops, and the Lonja de Mallorca.
Lonja de Mallorca — A gorgeous 15th-century Gothic civil building in the heart of the Plaça de la Llotja.
Bike ride — Bikes are in abundance here. You can rent one on just about every corner and bike as far as the eye can see down the coast.
Soller – Take a day-trip by a vintage train to this quaint town about one hour from Palma de Majorca (pictured right).

While Majorca is the largest of the four Balearic Islands, I wouldn't use that term to describe it. The island felt more like an exotic, hidden treasure.
