Palma is the capital of the island Mallorca. In Palma live about
375,000 inhabitants, that are about half of the population of
Mallorca. With Palma also the airport of the island is appropriate,
thus for each visitor with the airplane after Mallorca travels
inevitably also after Palma comes. Palma is because of one of the
most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean. Not without reason
the island is therefore the favourite destination of the Germans. |
