  Palma has a host of cultural attractions, one being Bellver Castle. The castle is only 3 km from the city centre. Construction of the castle started in 1311, it is one of the few circular castles built on mainland Europe. The Castle was first built to be the royal residence of the King of Mallorca but later in the 18th to 20th century it became a military prison. It now acts as the city’s history museum and is amongst the most popular traveller destinations in Mallorca.

  If the traveller requires a more tranquil experience than sightseeing, then Mallorca offers miles upon miles of golden sanded beaches.

There is no need for previous experience as most centres cater for the novice as well as the experienced.
