Mallorca: Best scenic photos

Mallorca is an island east of Spain. We covered most of the island during our stay and put 800 km on our rental car. The photo above is on the top of Mallorca, the Peninsula of Formentor.


The Castell de Bellver is one of the few round castles in the world. It is on the bottom of the island overlooking the city of Palma.
The harbor in Palma, the largest city on the island, has a great view from the old wall.
This grand gothic Cathedral in Palma sits right next to the Harbor.


The Cathedral lights up at night next to the Palace Almudaina, still used as a palace for the King and Queen of Spain today when they stay at Mallorca.




The lookout called Mirador de ses Animes built around 1500 to look for pirates.


From it you can see up and down the entire West Coast
