Expert Tip. Palma has its undoubted attractions, but Majorca is a beautiful island that shouldn't be overlooked. The coastal road at Andratx is an archetypal cornice road, cut into the edge of the cliff and winding along the entire northwest coast. Stop at the Mirador Ricardo Roca or the Mirador de Ses Ànimes to take in stunning views beneath the shade of pine trees.
