Second stop on the cruise tour, Palma de Mallorca. Palma is the capital and major port city of the Spanish Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. It's a popular vacation spot for many Spaniards and other Europeans alike. I had heard, and after visiting there confirmed, that it's a major destination for Germans.
Here's a view of Palma and Bellver Castle on a hill north of the city from the window of our cruiseship; I think we were having breakfast at the time.
Here's Palma's port and bay seen from the hilltop Bellver Castle.
La Seu, or the cathedral, of Palma is a massive gothic structure. The pillars inside were especially towering although slender at the same time. Next to the cathedral is the Palace of the Almudaina which used to be a Muslim palace which was later converted over to a Christian palace after the Muslims were expelled.
Here's a view inside the Palace of the Almudaina.

I especially liked the "corporate" picture at the bottom of the stairs in Palma. They haven't stopped talking about the trip. It looks like the weather was fantastic, as was the scenary.

Don't forget to add "comments" to the pictures. You'll forget and then they're gone. They add to the picture if we know more about it.
