# One day in Mallorca: an itinerary

> A day in Mallorca combines the capital and the mountains. In the morning, La Seu cathedral on the seafront with its huge rose window and Gaudí's canopy, then a stroll through the old town and along the waterfront. After lunch, take the bus to Valldemossa, a stone village in the Tramuntana: the charterhouse with Chopin's cells, flower-filled lanes and coca de patata on a café terrace. Back to Palma in the evening.

## What to see in Mallorca in a day

Start at the cathedral at opening time, before the cruise groups, and view it from the Parc de la Mar lake. Then wander the old town behind it, with its patios and narrow lanes.

After lunch, take the bus to Valldemossa, about 30 minutes. Allow 2–3 hours in the village for the monastery and Chopin's cells, the lanes and a café. The last buses back leave towards evening, so check the timetable ahead.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update.

## Where to eat

For breakfast in Palma, try an ensaïmada, the spiral pastry dusted with sugar, at one of the old bakeries. For lunch in the old town, pa amb oli is ideal: bread with olive oil, tomato and local toppings.

In Valldemossa, have a coca de patata, a fluffy potato bun, with hot chocolate. For dinner back in Palma, head to the bars of La Llotja by the waterfront for tapas and seafood.

## Tips for the day

Book the cathedral online and cover your shoulders and knees. Valldemossa's lanes are steep and cobbled, so wear comfortable shoes.

With a car, add the viewpoints along the mountain road and clifftop Deià next door. The mountains are cooler than Palma in summer, but the sun is strong by day, so bring water and a hat.

## If you have more time

With another day, take the vintage train to [Sóller](https://yesgo.io/spain/palma/soller) through the mountains, or relax on the beaches of [Palma Nova and Magaluf](https://yesgo.io/spain/palma/palmanova-magaluf), 20 minutes from the capital.

## Tips

- The cathedral at opening time.
- Bus to Valldemossa, 30 minutes.
- Coca de patata with coffee.
- Churches require covered shoulders and knees and no beachwear; walking around town in swimwear is not allowed.
- Spain uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere. Book the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gaudí houses ahead on their official sites, which list entry times and closing days.
