Do not forget
- Palma é a capital da comunidade autónoma das Illas Baleares, que inclúe catro illas: Mallorca, Menorca, Eivissa e Formentera
O catalán é o idioma propio das Illas Baleares e é oficial xunto co castelán - A serra de Tramuntana é a candidatura de España en 2011 a Patrimonio da Humanidade da UNESCO como paisaxe cultural. Percórrea; merece a pena.
- A cociña mallorquina é exquisita. Non deixes de probar o tumbet, o frit, as sopas mallorquinas, a sobrasada ou produtos de pastelería como a ensaimada ou o robiol.
