Sunday 20 April, Easter Sunday

Different architectural styles in Palma
We exchanged Easter eggs at breakfast. The dining room was very full. I had my usual cereal, fruit, orange juice, boiled egg and bread rolls.

The sun came out as we walked along the path in front of the cathedral and into another part of the old city.

We found the Banyas Arabs or Arab Baths. The bath house was small but had a nice garden with citrus trees.

We wandered through the maze of streets to a cafe for Easter cakes (enseimada) and coffee. Then we explored further to Plaza Mayor and Plaza Weyler. There were shops open and some interesting architecture in Modernista styles.

Back at the hotel Laura and I sat in the courtyard in the sun for a while. In the evening we had booked dinner at Can Eduardo, a nearby seafood restaurant.


Dinner by the harbour was very pleasant. We had different starters and I had sea bass and the others had a lobster and rice soup. For dessert we shared crema catalana. At the hotel we played Town and Country.
