1. Cala Pi
Cala Pi is a secluded beach located in a village with which it shares its name, Cala Pi, 17 kilometers from Llucmajor, in the south of Mallorca. Its name "Pi" (pine in Spanish) comes from the trees that surround the beautiful cove. Considered by many as the perfect beach, protected between two cliffs, with golden sand and turquoise blue waters. The cove is short, about 50m long, but quite wide (140m). The cliffs on both sides of the beach make it a safe place, protected from the winds.
This beach extends 500 m inland between two vertical walls of more than 20 meters high. Its sand is fine, it has hardly any unevenness and a residential area is located nearby. The level of occupation of the beach is medium-high during high season. With a relaxed atmosphere, it attracts local and international tourists and is ideal for all types of users.

6. Baños Arabes, Palma
The Arab Baths of Palma de Mallorca are one of the most emblematic monuments on the island, apart from the few examples of Islamic architecture preserved in Palma, located in the gardens of Can Fontirroig, in the historic centre of the city. Inside the building, the central room was intended for hot baths, which will surprise you with its impressive dome and skylights.
The baths date back to the eleventh century, allowing for only the partial conservation of its rooms and architectural elements. According to experts, the preserved remains were possibly part of the palace of a Muslim nobleman.
7. Faro de Porto Colom
The Porto Colom lighthouse is located in the Spanish town of Porto Colom, municipality of Felanitx. Its tower measures 25m and reaches 42m above sea level.
Its construction was included in the General Plan for the Beaconing of the Spanish Coasts and Ports of 1861. In 1918 the tower was increased by 6.5 m in order to achieve a greater range and the original lantern was replaced by a cylindrical one with inclined uprights. In 1965 the signal was electrified and to avoid interference of the light beams with nearby buildings, the tower was extended by a further 10 metres.
