Our next port of call was the city of Palma on the island of
Majorca, better known as Palma de Majorca. It is part of Spain. Again, the port
area was beautiful as it was lined with high-end condo buildings and plenty of
fancy yachts in the harbor.
This was a very pleasant surprise as we took the city tour. There
are three areas of note – the world famous pearls (especially black pearls),
the bull fighting ring and, yes, another huge 14th century
cathedral. [We have lost track of our cathedral count and chapel count at this
point.] The cathedral has been updated in more modern times, including some stained
glass by Antoni Gaudi as well as a highly decorative ring of 33 lanterns
suspended over the altar. It was a preview of things to come when we docked in
Barcelona.
Again, we had an easy bus trip back to the ship. We had
dinner, some drinks and a show.
