• 9.Portixol seafront brunch — The prettied-up old fishing harbour just east of the centre — a promenade of brunch spots and cool cafés around a little beach and bobbing boats. The local Sunday move; walk or cycle the seafront to reach it.
• 12.Cycle the bay — A flat seafront cycle path runs the whole Bay of Palma, from the cathedral past the marina to Portixol and beyond. Rent a bike and ride it at golden hour — the easiest, breeziest way to see the waterfront like a local.
• 13.A boat trip to a cove — See the coast the best way — hire a small boat or join a trip from the marina to swim in coves you can't reach by road, with the mountains behind. A half-day of turquoise water and cliffs; the essence of a Mallorca summer.
