PALMA, MAJORCA
it is around 50 years since I last visited Palma and it has changed little. There is a new seafront promenade and park area and the cathedral is cleaner. We spent a pleasant Sunday morning strolling around before it got too hot and too busy with tourists.

A new park area has been built where the sea used to be below the cathedral
