Two bird's-eye views of the city of Palma
If you are one of those people like me, who likes to be closer to the sky and contemplate a beautiful city down and right in front of you, there are at least two places you need to visit in Palma. One is Hotel Almudaina Sky bar. Some of our Palma students were there for a coffee and shared these pictures of the Cathedral and Palma downtown. But also, you should never miss the views of the city from our Medieval round castle which, not by chance, is named Bellver (“beautiful view”). From the terrace of the castle, you will discover that Palma is not such a small city as you maybe were thinking. In fact, more than 400,000 inhabitants live in the city of Palma. Studying abroad with CIEE, you could become one of them for a semester or a summer!
