Walls of Royal Palace of La Almudaina

The walls of the Cathedral of Santa María of Mallorca (La Seu) offer a stunning example of Gothic architecture, providing a picturesque backdrop for photography enthusiasts. The juxtaposition of the cathedral's imposing structure against the Mediterranean sky is particularly striking during the golden hours. Adjacent to the cathedral, the S'Hort del Rei gardens are a serene escape. Originally part of the Moorish Almudaina Palace grounds, these gardens feature a variety of Mediterranean plants, ornate fountains, and sculptures, creating a peaceful ambiance. Look out for the "Ses Voltes" arcade near the gardens, offering a captivating perspective with its series of arches leading towards the cathedral. Both locations are best visited early in the morning or late afternoon to capture the softest light and avoid the crowds. Do not miss the opportunity to capture the dramatic contrast between the ancient architecture and the vibrant blue of the Balearic Sea from the Parc de la Mar in front of the cathedral.
