PALMA DE MALLORCA



Today our port of call was Palma De Mallorca, on the Southern tip of the island of Mallorca on the Mediterrean sea.  According to Wikipedia, half of the island’s population lives in Palma De Mallorca.

Ken went ashore and did a  trip on the hop on hop off bus which included a visit to the Gothic Cathedral, La Seu, which he reports as similar to the one in Barcelona and, I believe, designed by the same architect or at least incorporates some of his ideas. According to Wikipedia, the Cathedral is built on the site of a Mosque which in turn was built on the site of a Roman Temple. What goes around comes around?
Ken, whose passion is boats was impressed with the number of beautiful yachts in the marina and wished for a closer look at the mega yachts that occupy space there.
