[Una vez más hacia Mallorca]

Typical report of tourism promotion boosted by the Organization for the Promotion of Mallorca's Tourism. A ferry reaches the bay and the port of Palma and then heads for the Son Vida Hotel, a luxury establishment in the outskirts of Palma in an old stately home. We can see the beach of Calamajor full of tourists; Bendinat Castle at the far end of Calvia; the beaches of Illetes; Palmanova, where you can enjoy sea sports such as water skiing. Back to Palma we pass by the equestrian statue of King James I in Espanya Square. Then we are taken to Binissalem, a wine-producing town in the centre of the island; Felanitx, also a wine producer; Manacor and its pearl industry; Drac caves in Porto Cristo; Inca, agricultural centre of Mallorca. We also visit the Raixa stately home at the foot of the Sierra at the far end of Bunyola, Valldemossa and its Charterhouse, the town of Alcudia with its walls and the remains of the Roman city of Pollentia, the port of Alcudia, Formentor, its beach and the hotel. We also get to know Soller and its port, the Son Marroig stately home in Valldemossa, which belonged to Archduke Lluis Salvador. Finally, we pay the required visits to the Bellver Castle, the Almudaina and the Cathedral.
