Mallorca
Every city in Europe has a cathedral and we have seen many of the major ones so unfortunately the interiors are all starting to blend together, the memorable differences really lay in the external. Mallorca's cathedral varies from the others we have seen as rather than being in the middle of the city where you can't quite get the best view of the grandeur and architecture, this cathedral has one of the best views of the city. It is on the major road near the marina and can be seen in its entirety from many areas of the city.

The marina here has more boats and yachts than we have seen at any other port. The closest beaches to the city centre are pretty average, we didn't have time to go further afield but apparently there are many beautiful coves. The old city was interesting, Spain really excels when it comes to city squares, they are everywhere and well frequented.
That evening we caught the bus to San Agustin where K's Scottish friend Nicola has been teaching primary school for the past three years. We met Nicola at an Indian restaurant right on the edge of the cove with a view of the beautiful blue of the Mediterranean from the terrace. From there Nicola took us to a bar before we headed home quite late. She is really happy here, Mallorca seems a lovely place to live although the pay could be better and being an island, everything is more expensive.
