A Mallorca island tour is the easiest way to see the mountain towns, beaches, and wineries outside Palma without renting a car or driving the winding roads yourself. We booked a private tour and were amazed at how much we saw in one day, from rocky coves to historic villages to a winery in the hills. Here’s where we went, what we tasted, and who…
A sunset boat tour in Palma de Mallorca was the perfect way to end our trip to this beautiful island. We sailed on a brand new catamaran with a welcome drink, five rounds of really good tapas, and amazing views of the cathedral as we pulled out of the marina. We even had a gorgeous orange moon glowing over the city on the way back….
We already love Spanish tapas, so a Palma de Mallorca food tour was near the top of our list before we arrived in town.

Here’s what the town is really like, what it costs…
Cala Ratjada restaurants line the pedestrian walk along the sea, and from the outside they can start to look interchangeable, but they’re not. Some spots were touristy with mediocre service, and menus the size of phone books, while others had elevated dishes and excellent, friendly staff. Here’s where we recommend for tapas, a high-end dinner, breakfast over the water, and the best happy hour deal…
