SCOTLAND may boast a larger coastline, but Spain is a vast country alive with myriad different travel experiences. Choosing where to holiday can be hard, but what if I told you one city was like a greatest hits of the rest of Spain? I’ve just been back to Mallorca’s capital of Palma – it’s Spain in glorious miniature.
Flying back, even the island’s topography is Spain in a nutshell. There are the towering Tramuntana Mountains, the lower slopes draped in thick forests and dotted with villages where time peels back. The coast sparkles with beaches and popular resorts, but also hidden coves and unspoilt hideaways.
