Royal Caribbean Jobs - Stylish Palma

For many Palma has the best of all worlds - something different but the also best of the typical holiday wishlist.

Despite its relative size Palma most of the tourists coming to the island give the city a miss as they head straight for the sand and delights of the popular package tour resorts over on the east of the island. More than half the people who live on Mallorca live in and around Palma. Is by far and away the island's largest city, the capital city of the Balearic Islands, palma de Mallorca, located in Palma Bay on the south west of Majorca.

The local influence is reflected in the prices charged and you will find that strangely the main city is actually cheaper than just about anywhere else on the island. Especially in the odler parts of the city which has amples choices of caf�s and tapas bars, that many don't stop to experience the city's delights means that Palma enjoys a much more 'local' feel than one might expect. The chance to hire a car and get out and about Majorca as well as as choice of beaches without all the fuss and bother, city sophistication, you get the best of all worlds. What's more Palma can make claims as being the perfect place from which to explore the rest of this beautiful island. Elegant and fascinating city, their loss is certainly the gain of anyone who chooses to spend time exploring this ancient.

Take your pick. The greatest concentration of caf�s and bars though is in Sa Llotja. Another bar El Pesquerol is right on the water and offers great views as well as refreshment. Join them doing what they do best - drinking coffee and enjoying tapas - Bar Bosch on Placa Rei Joan Carles I nearer the centre of town has been serving tapas and coffees since the 1930s. Authentic flavour of Palma that offers such a refreshing alternative to the rest of the island, a long sheltered beach just outside the city - stick close to the locals though as it's the "non touristy", even the King and Queen of Spain like to visit Cala Major. There's no shortage of money here. Palma is classy - Just take a walk around Palma's port area to see the wealth in terms of yachts and cruisers berthed there, there's no doubt about it. Sophisticated Palma is one way of describing things here.

Examine Palma a little more closely and prepare for nice surprise. You'll be quite happy to put off that extra trip to the beach - holidays in Palma offer so much to see and do. From forts to castles to palaces to museums and classy nightclubs the list of recommendations is almost endless. Originally a Moorish citadel and palace is also highly recommended, almudaina Palace. Make sure you visit Palma's impressive Gothic Cathedral La Seu, once you've stopped eying up the millionaire's yachts in the harbour. Even without the people watching and the epic Mediterranean sunsets there's a vast amount to see in Palma. Remnants of ancient city walls and stylish modern boulevards, take your time to enjoy the shopping and the maze of narrow lanes that weave in and out of newly restored buildings. Palma never gives in to the persuasions that affect other holiday resorts, a lively cosmopolitan city in honest Spanish tradition. Palma offers a taste of true Spain.
