Café Lorca

Just off Plaça Gomila, and down a few steps, this friendly hangout is where locals congregate, so it’s a good chance to find out what the scene is really like from those who live it.
Cala Blava

The “Blue Cove” is a popular gay section of the vast beach area along S’Arenal, on the eastern curve of Palma Bay.
Cala d’Or

Not just one cove, but many, with their respective beaches and pueblo-style villas, make up this garden-green, stylish zone. Each former humble fishing dock has metamorphosed into a classy marina catering for a discerning set of international clientele.
Cala es Gulló

One of several handsome coves just to the north of Cala Rajada, this one is particularly known for being gay-friendly.
Cala Rajada

This fishing port on Mallorca’s eastern tip, surrounded by fine beaches and pretty coves, is a crowded resort in summer.
Campos

A famous painting by 17th-century Sevillian artist Murillo hangs in the parish church of this dusty agricultural town. Next door is a museum with a collection of offertory bowls.
Can Vivot

Peep in on another of Palma’s grand courtyards, with Corinthian columns and balustraded balcony. Its sumptuous library, filled with scientific instruments from the Enlightenment era, is sometimes open.
Cana

Cana is the term to use in a bar when you want them to pull you a draught beer; ask for a cana gran if you want a large one. Cervesa (beer) tends to be of the pilsner type, though in Palma you can find a local variety that is black, fizzy and bitter.
Cap des Pinar

Much of the cape is a restricted military zone, but you can take in the view from the terrace of the Mirador del Victòria, walk to the ruins of the Talaia d’Alcúdia or climb Penya Roja.
Castell de Santueri

Artà’s crowning glory is its hilltop fortress, the view from which is one of Mallorca’s most characteristic sights: a jumble of tiles in every shade of brown.
