Palma de Mallorca is the only true city on the island. It's a city located on the island of Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain.

This is due to its increasingly cosmopolitan vibe, its cutting-edge galleries and museums, a vibrant cultural scene, and a growing number of stylish boutiques, trendy bars, nightclubs, and restaurants. Palma de Mallorca is a fantastic place to visit. The city boasts a rich architectural diversity, with various styles blending together. The remnants of Arab and Jewish cultures, the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture of its churches, convents, and manor houses, along with its comprehensive infrastructure of cultural attractions, make Palma a unique cultural destination. Don't miss the chance to stroll through the narrow streets, take a close look at the interior courtyards, and look up to admire the impressive architecture on the tops of various buildings where Gaudi and his followers left their mark. The city's heritage faithfully reflects the peoples and cultures that have passed through the island over the centuries. As a versatile, cosmopolitan city on the beach, Palma, the capital of the Balearic Islands, has something to offer everyone.

Day 3

valencia, spain

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 16:00

Valencia cherishes its huertas, or orchards, filled with citrus fruit trees that thrive despite the dry climate. Here, visitors will discover water monuments, also known as fountains, and celebrations of greenery, or gardens. This provincial capital, the third largest city in Spain, also boasts a range of museums and ancient monuments and buildings, all with a unique Moorish and maritime touch. Valencia is the birthplace of both paella and orxata de chufas, providing the most genuine environment for tasting these delicacies. Rising from the Old Town is the Gothic and neoclassical Seu, or Metropolitan Cathedral. Its tower, the Micalet, provides a sweeping view of the city's historic center. The cathedral's interior is remarkable for its serene simplicity and a simple, yet beautiful, six-panel altarpiece. The Museu de la Seu, or the Cathedral Museum, holds among other lesser treasures, two large Goyas and one of Spain’s several purportedly authentic Holy Grails. Nearby is the Llotja de la Seda, the former silk exchange, with its impressive pillars. Whether you prefer the modern or the traditional, Valencia has it all. You can wander at night in the historic center and stroll in front of the illuminated cathedral or visit La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the City of Arts and Sciences, the city's cutting-edge side.

livorno (lucca) - italy

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 20:00

The city of Livorno is situated in Tuscany. Today, it stands as an industrial hub on the Mediterranean coast, with its primary industries being metallurgy and chemicals, though it also boasts a significant oil refinery. Despite its industrial focus, the city also attracts tourists due to its rich history and unique experiences it offers. Originally, Livorno started as a small fishing village. However, it held great significance for the Medici family due to its strategic location, and they declared the port a free port from 1590 until 1860. This allowed the city to flourish. However, much of this development was lost during the Second World War when the city suffered extensive damage, particularly to its historic Cathedral and synagogue.
