Palma de Mallorca

Got off for a stroll as I'd not been to Palma de Mallorca 🇪🇸 for some time.
I didn't bother going in to town as most places, where closed because of the festival.
So as I can use my phone Internet in Spain I decided to use Google maps and find my way to Bellver Castle.
It was quite a pleasant walk until I got to the steps that lead up to the castle itself. There must have been 1,000,000 of them. OK that's probably a slight exaggeration, there is about 500,000. Lol
OK not that many but a lot.
When I got to the top, after about 4 rest stops. (I am getting old you know) it was worth it as the views where spectacular, and the castle itself was interesting, also as it was the festival weekend, entry was free!
The castle was built in the 14th century and was residence for the first kings of Majorca.
In later years it was used as a military prison.Read more
