Day 7: Hanging around Palma

Today was pretty low key. We went inside the Palma Cathedral and saw the work of Gaudí. The cathedral was stared in 1230 and most of the work took place over the next 400 years. What's amazing is that in the early 1900s Gaudí was commissioned to restore the cathedral, taking away some gothic and baroque parts, letting in more light, and creating this modernist ring over the alter. 


We visited a museum and then went out to the harbor and enjoyed watching the sea, boats, and people walking by.  Then we wandered some more.




 

There is a park across the street from our hotel. Every afternoon there are kids and their parents having fun. 

We're planing on going out to one of the small villages tomorrow.
